[Elecraft] [K3] Audio circuit distortion

[K0TNT]

I had an industrial electronics distributor swear to me that his speaker 
cables needed to be "broken in", sounded too "bright" until they had 
been used for a week. They also had to be very large because of the AC 
Skin Effect. Thin wires just didn't sound good.
One morning, as a joke, I came into his office with my jumper cables and 
said, "Mitch, I have your new speaker cables right here!" He actually 
thought about it for a couple of seconds.
Never could convince him that he was chasing ghosts. But the laughs were 
worth it.
