I always laugh when cable companies sell their ideas. I was glad to have helped them 50 years ago when there weren’t any cable companies. Guess what, "THEY" (the cable companies) were in their garages making cables, learning what I learned 55 years ago from my father.. I make better cable than I would EVER buy from MOST of theses cable companies..

Why are mine better? I made them, no short cuts, and NO HOG WASH. I also look at what they sell, go where THEY buy it from and buy the same way. It ain’t rocket science, as a matter of fact, it is down right simple stuff being sold as some sort of MAGIC cable.. it is not.. BUT they are extremely expensive, BUT NOT, REPEAT NOT worth some of the prices being charged.

There is no such thing as a 5K cable, after you pay for it, THERE IS...
The same goes for all the other rip off pricing.. Somebody gets pay for somebody’s KID’S college tuition. MINE went to trade schools and learned a trade or two..

You see the guy that taught me worked for SAC (MMAG) a Military Maintenance, Advisory Group a sub set of S.A.C. When you deliver a bomb that causes EVERYTHING on an airplane to stop working. You better know about wiring and shielding... I learned there is a proper type of materials and a way to connect things properly and SECURE IT... That sums up the 1000 slaps in the back of my head for talking back..

Cables SHAKING at 5-7 mile up in the air, won’t work properly.. How do you talk to the guy in the BACK of the plane, through a WIRE, when all this interference is going on around you, AND understand them?

A cable from one end of a B-36 to the other is how long? That’s right there could be NO chaffing, cuts, or breaks, you mess up the cable you pull a new one and test.. A football field for ONE cable..

Stereo cable and a lot of the TECH came from JOE BLOW, the retired Master Mechanics and Electricians from the services around the WWII, Korea, Vietnam eras. No jobs, and a stereo in the house lead to two thing, a lot of tinkering and a lot of drinking... I just did the tinkering part, my father was NEVER out of work.. BUT the drinkin’ part... There were a lot of Ham operators back then too.. Smart cookies..

Do GREAT cables exist? YES. Do you have to pay someone else to make them? Maybe. I’m glad I don’t. Do they make a HUGE difference, OH HELL YES!!. I guess because I’ve always used good cables, I’ve never heard better, that would make me change to their cables..

I’m A/Bing a Ribbon cable that cost 110.00 usd against another ribbon cable that cost 13K. I’ll take the one for 110.00 with the terminal ends I changed to silver over red copper (so they said) 29.00 more..

Cable companies are in business to reliever you of your money, NO MORE. Some just leave their patrons with more in their pockets.. LOL
Others are so "Middle man America", they want to do one thing BUT MAKE YOU feel good about it.... 10-20k RCAs.. I just laugh to no end, an RCA that cost more than my 140.00 usd Ribbon Speaker ICs.. NEVER

I'll bow to this, "cables make a big difference", especially in sound quality.

Does it have to be made by a "CABLE making COMPANY"? Absolutely NOT..

Are there some great companies out there, making great cables? Oh yea! Do I need to buy from them? NO.. BUT I wish them well.

No Roller in my drive way either.. Cryin' shame.. I deserve one. Chauffeur please. I want to go buy some speaker cables, take me to MY airport, Denmark, please...PRONTO, Before the evening meal, old man.. ta ta..

John Paul was a great person. I agree. The current fella, again I'm not to impressed either. BUT John Paul the man was a "Gandhi, a Billy Graham and a MLK", all wrapped up in one. He lived a long time too.. No I don't think even you could piss him off.. Maybe.. More over I'd doubt you would want to.. Seemed like a pretty cool guy, actually..
I would love to meet the Dalai Lama and break bread... That I think would be worth "A fist full of dollars" maybe "Two mules of sister Sarah's" too.. :-)

thyname who has he posted as before? I’m nosey. I’ve never seen his style of writing by anyone else. He has a style of his own.. Arrogant and irritating at times, but no more or less than me as I see it.. Just tell him the truth, "You wear girls underwear".  Quit being so darn TECHIE, I'm just a common man.. Speak "Scotty", not "Mr. Spock", That's all I can du, captian!
Scotty your fired!

I’ve grown more accustomed to people like him in my life, honestly life is just to short, and I’m just too gullible anymore.. I always weight the message and the intent. Tourette’s anyone.. LOL Delivery on the other hand can be brutal. I find it funny. The rise he can get, and the way folks get so ticked off..

Same difference with MC, LOL he could piss of the POPE.. Still I like his snarky delivery.. He will try stuff too. God loves a person who tries.. No Try, No room for back talk, AY? No BS with MC that’s for sure.. Not a gear whore either, tweak whore maybe. I don’t know, maybe he don’t charge.
What’s that make ya? Normal?

Master M, the Titan of Tinker.. My brother in all things other than all other things.. :-) We agreed that we should agree, not to disagree, we agreed on that..

Who is a cable hater? Really, you can’t leave home without one. If you have a pace maker with a little zapper, gotta change the batteries.

If you want to listen to music, you gotta use somethin’..

You mean HATE the prices and hype.. Yea. I just saw, 1 meter cables for 17K. I swallowed my tongue and had a seizure.. I had to give myself Mouth to Mouth and CPR.. That’s hard..

17K, go set in the corner and think about what you’re charging...BIG pointed hat for that one.. The bigger dummy is the guy that BUYS it. Then and only then is it worth 17K. Up to that point about 500.00 usd MAYBE..

Great cable I’m sure.. I’ll give it, it’s props for sure.. Just not 16.5k more.. LOL pure NUTS... Starvin’ children somewhere for God sakes... :-(
NO IT’S WRONG... Startin’ to feel like kenjit did about speakers.. LOL
BUT there are some great cables out there too. The Helix is a real winner.

Oh oh I want a Learjet too, pilot please that can fly DRUNK or loaded very well. No sober pilots need apply.
