Harley quote

Regarding two aftermarket power cables: "These differences in the shapes of the musical waveforms are far too small to see or measure with even the most sophisticated technology, yet we as listeners not only routinely discriminate such differences, we sometimes find musical meaning in these differences."

 Nonsense. Just because people claim to "routinely discriminate" differences doesn't mean it's true or they're right. Apparently many have witnessed UFOs but that doesn't mean they actually saw extraterrestrial visitors, does it? Some have seen/heard a deity speaking to them "routinely"; does that imply that they are surely communing with an unseen/unmeasurable spiritual force(s)? Can we not put a little more effort into confirmatory reality-testing first when "the most sophisticated technology" can find nothing in 2020? (Of course, speaker cables can measure differently as per here, here, even if not necessarily audible in many cases by the time we connect amp to speaker.)

Wow what a load of, "let's start an argument". Cables make a difference it's as simple as that.. Break in, (not burn in) makes a lot of difference.

I've seen some sloppy testing, but this guy takes the cake... 3" cheater wire. 6 hours of break in,, laying on the floor from his Emotiva. Then shows us a graph. BUT the volume wasn't the same the, bla .bla .bla.

What was the question? That's right there wasn't one.  It is just a slam from a person using cheap equipment, that even lamp cord, could have produced the same results..

I've seen the weave from more than one manufacture. The function is for RFI, EFI more than anything.. The construct makes a big difference too.

Apples       Oranges..  Let me see if I can hear a difference on my 60 year old radio shack receiver, to my 70 year old Sears speakers..
Give me those Kimbers, It's gonna sound like a brand new Mac set up...

EVERYTHING about the test was bogus.. The End...

And the usual blabbering from oldhvymec (even though we love him so...)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'll take that as a complement "we love him so", back at ya.. But the guy was full of "hooey" none the less or maybe it's "suey", I may have gotten my PIG calls mixed up.. It has been a while since I took care of pigs. Still full of it.
The Emotiva system pretty much did it for me though.. MidFi at best. They always sound like they are under water to me. Putting a 600.00 cable with a 3" jumper is NOT the way to test things..  

He did prove how to make a really, really bad cable though..

Not one thing about how his spliced cable sounded. What the heck.. who cares RIGHT? It measured the same.. LOL HO HO HO.

Like comparing a 1968 Pantera with a 1968 Ford Pickup.. I had both...
Both had 4 wheel, both had 351 Cleveland  blocks (Ford V8), that's it... 
NO THEY DIDN'T SOUND THE SAME... :-)

Blabber I can, Blabber I will "Yoda"
