[sdiy] "Time Winding" in Audio Cables ???

[Glen]

On a totally separate forum, I have a person who has been to all the 
Monster Cable(tm) sales seminars telling me that low frequencies travel 
through an audio cable more slowly than the high frequencies. Is this 
remotely true?

I had just mentioned on this forum that I wouldn't be buying any Monster 
Cables, because I make my own cables instead, and that I have had good luck 
with mine so far. Here is part of his response:

>well the truth is a grew up with a soldering iron in my hand and I have no 
>doubt either one of us could make a cable that we could swing from. But, 
>there is a difference, it's called time winding. That's something we can't 
>do. Think about it, lower frequencies travel slower then higher

Is this fellow just brainwashed by the Monster seminars he attended? Is he 
perhaps financially dependent on Monster sales, and wants to tow the "party 
line"? Or does he actually have a valid point?

I wouldn't expect any appreciable difference in the propagation speed of 
audio signals of different frequencies, assuming those frequencies are 
confined to the same cable. So who is correct here? If there is some sort 
of difference in propagation speed, I'd like to know more about it. I don't 
remember hearing of this issue before.
