    13 what about phase shift due to frequency dependent travel times down the speaker cable? Measurements show that 100 hz waves will be delayed about 20 billionths of a second behind 10 khz waves when traveling to the end of a 10 foot speaker cable. Since the cilia of the ear requires 25,000 times lon...
