So what you're really saying is, that if one has a *proper*
(read: suitably expensive) cable, there would be no dispersion
and the 10 Hz cycles would arrive at the 1000 Hz rate.  Or,
to put it even better, since a *proper* cable should have
plenty of frequency response headroom, both the 10 Hz cycles
and the 1000 Hz cycles should be arriving at a 1 MHz rate,
vastly improving the response time of the whole system.  Thus,
with a *proper* cable, it becomes possible to listen to all
of "Supper's Ready" in 35 seconds.  I will freely admit that
my listening experience has been missing this factor.
