Add me to the list of those who've gotten grief over their cables. In my case it's been from my "technically knowledgeable" friends, one in particular.
"Why the fire hoses? Gonna get bigger sound that way? (snicker)" This was one of several jabs from someone I gave speaker cables that by his own admission improved the sound of his system. I reminded him of "the gift", then suggested in a friendly fashion that since cables made no difference he could return the ones I had given him. Surely zip cord would be as good? He stammered out a response equivalent to "that was different" and the subject hasn't come up again, though he does chime in from time to time on power cords.
It probably goes without saying that naysayers rarely change their tune. But it is possible to alter the frequency...
