Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio

defiantboomerang..tell us about your system...

Aerial 10T, Adcom, Ronco, Acme ... and ALL stock cables.

Happy listening and Keep me posted!

@lalitk

I honestly don’t know why we continue to tirelessly argue on the merits of cables, fuses, components and so on. In this journey, everyone has their own taste, budget, expectations and is entitled to their own opinions.

The most important thing in this hobby is to share some of the joy and excitement of discovering how fundamentally beautiful and important music is, does it matter how we get there?

Peace out!

Don't take the bait!

Below is a quote from the late Gordon Holt:

Audio as a hobby is dying, largely by its own hand. As far as the real world is concerned, high-end audio lost its credibility during the 1980s, when it flatly refused to submit to the kind of basic honesty controls (double-blind testing, for example) that had legitimized every other serious scientific endeavor since Pascal. [This refusal] is a source of endless derisive amusement among rational people and of perpetual embarrassment for me - Gordon Holt

A procedure for critical evaluation; a means of determining the presence, quality, or truth of something;

IMO audio hobby is stronger than ever with companies routinely offering higher and higher price components, wider selection of quality products, to my EAR superior SQ ...  This is not a sign of dying but growing industry.

@don_1

I agree that the Audio industry is doing just fine. Better sounding components and reasonable prices for great equipment. My point of that article was my belief about certain components as speaker WIRE, interconnects, and the money gouging companies who sell these products st exorbitant prices. But to each his own. Just my opinion. AND THE SKY HASN'T FALLEN AS OF YET!

My definition of GOUGING is monopoly on a necessity and companies charging more than normal.   Basically low supply, normal/high demand so price rises.   IE:  hurricane, water or gasoline supply low so prices jacked up.    Whether justified is dependent on the situation.

But with cables, it's NOT a necessity.   Owners choose to buy them and SUCCESSFUL companies just listening to their customers.

Cables are part of a system so will rise or fall along with components.

BTW, Gordon Holt is no Warren Buffet IMO!
