a great take on big$ cables


i was talkin to a friend about cables & wire's & no matter how hard i try to tell him its not needed he wont budge because he has heard that big buck wires are the way to go,i even showed him this web page & after reading it his response was this "if they didnt work then why would they sell them" after talking for hours i gave up & gave him a demo,he heard no difference & neither did i but he still believe's.

there isnt alot of info published on wires except by manufacturer's so i thought i'd post this so every body could enjoy it.

this is a link to roger russell's web site where he gives his thought's on wire's & cable's & reports on blind testing that was done,if your not familuar with him he was a audio engineer for many years & from some of the gear i own that he designed i'd say a damm fine engineer too.

if you are of the belief that big buck cable's are not worth using you may get a chuckle but if your a firm believer then you might be bummed out,anyway's here's the link if you care to read about wire's.

Snofun I agree. If cables make as much difference as some people claim, it should be easy to pass a DBT or ABX test, right?

DBT and ABX are standard methods applied in many fields. Why is it in audio that the tests and methodology are deemed flawed if shown that differences can't be detected?

DBT/ABX IS the proof, but it has always disproven as far as I know.

It always ends up that something in the chain "wasn't good enough to reveal the differences", if only the power was conditioned, if only the speakers were better, if only the room acoustics were just right, if only the planets were aligned...if, if, if...
