Taxi Driver! Where's my .44! |
I am writing a novel right now: working title - Cable Pornography! My motivation is the sheer amount of descriptive terms aficionados have thought up for listening to nothing but wire! Me, I'd rather just listen to MUSIC! |
Read the post above mine and see if you don't agree! |
In the nether region, eh! |
|
I will channei the spirit of Henry Miller for assistance! |
"It allows my system to open up in ways that I like..."! Referring to a particular body part, eh! |
I'll sooner spend $7K on a white powder from South America than on a friggin piece of wire! |
"I have come to the conclusion that (fill in your choice) matters!" cables, gravity, the speed of light, Planck's Constant, EMF, today's DJA, Trump's Trade Embargo, who won the last Powerball, Fermat's Last Theorem, the speed of sound in water, will the sun rise tomorrow, today's gasoline prices, the square root of 2, who lost the battle of Waterloo, Croatia advances to the WC Final, Infinity ... |
Who needs wire? I'm going to use troughs of mercury for all signal connections! |
My recent posts are an attempt to add some humor to these oh-so-serious debates about wire! |
Speakers too! Almost forgot! And plenty of Lp's and CD's! Some RTR tapes (getting scarce!). And I was there when Noel Lee started the fancy wire business going (Monster). So I have a long view of the audio scene! |
I own a whole store's worth of vintage audio gear! Amps, preamps, tuners, turntables, tone arms, cartridges, reel-to-reels, cassette decks, CD players, cables, parts, tubes - the works! And guitars and guitar amps! Best collection on Florida's Gulf Coast! Been doing this since 1976! |
+1 cd318! You are about the only one to get
my reference to Henry Miller! Sad that in our Internet Age hardly anybody reads him anymore! A unique voice in American fiction! |
-1 roachie! Chill out, smoke a joint, relax, man! The sun will rise tomorrow! |
Thank you prof and ganainm for being the voices of reason and sanity! |
+1 prof! Thank you again for your cogent thoughtful response! |
+1 marklings and cd318! Two voices of reason amid the howling mob! |
Let only blind people do listening test to cables! LOL! |
Here's what esteemed reviewer Herb Reichert wrote in Listener (early '90's): "Wire is like a condom. If it works everything is fine. If not ..." |
+1 cleeds! I got a good laugh from your response to my "Wire is like ..." post! I do know which goes where!
|
@ ron1319: I'd bet that if you repeated your tests again the next day or next week you'd get different results! Human memory of sonic "differences" is very fallible and prone to error! Making comparative testing difficult and frustrating! |
