Amazing James Randi?


The amazing Randi who has been challenging the paranormal, supernatural, and occult power's of many who claim to have these powers. He is now giving a new million dollar challenge. He Randi is challenging a very famous audio critic, for the critic to prove the claims that there is a difference in the sound of speaker audio cables. Please I am not stating that there are no sound diffence but just interested in all fellow Audiogon members if any have heard of this?

Yes, Randi has been playing this game for a couple of years now. The latest hubbub is over Mikey Fremer accepting his offer, at which point Randi backed down, claiming that the Transparent cables Mikey wanted to use where not real cables since they had network boxes on them.
That's the last I heard. I thought like Tvad, that this latest challenge was dead in the water. Not that it really matters anyway..........

Cheers,

Why did Randi object to the Tara Labs The Zero? No network there. The whole debacle reeks of a school yard pissing contest.......
I think the whole Randi vs. Mikey thing is just a dog and pony show, a publicity stunt if you will. I doesn't matter to me what comes out of it. I could care less whether they have their 'pissing' contest or not.

It doesn't matter because you know cables have a sound all their own or that once the known paramaters are achieved it's like throwing money out the window?


It means whatever you want it to mean Patrick.
Pbb: You piss and moan like a whore in church. Does that aid with you objective low-end status quo? Why don't you go whine to someone else, I'm tired of listening to you already. Are you still fuming from "the paradox of accurate speakers" thread?
I don't give a rat's ass if you use shoelaces to wire up your system, why do you get your panties in a knot over what I'm listening to? Get a life dude!
You'll fit right in over at Audioreview, them there's all JR's buddies. You'll find more peace of mind over there.....where everything sounds the same.....
Was this necessary langauge for you to use on your part DUDE?

Unfortunately Schipo, yes it was necessary when dealing with the likes of Pbb. He's like a tiny chihuahua that keeps nipping at your heels, eventually you need to give it a kick.
Now carry on, and I will do my best to ignore him.
