Good cables are shielded well. That she makes them expensive. That's not transmission, that's shielding. I don't think they tested that but for digital audio is not surprising
Even the shielding technologies are way overdone and overpriced in the high end audio market. They act as if they're running their cables through microwave ovens or magnet resonance machines. If you have strong electromagnetic fields around your audio equipment then somethings wrong in the room.
would analog make a difference instead of digital?
