Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?

Thanks for the suggestions, and the humor Kurt_tank. I guess it is a matter of differing preferences or philosophy that has led to the criticism. I have no problems taking that in my stride. It's just that I thought the choice of words could be toned down a bit. "Rubbish" and "Nonsense" were descriptive terms used in describing the cables. Apart from this slight anomaly, he comes off as an honest and friendly guy.

Thank you for all your opinions. Actually he is a dealer carrying another line of cable(interconnects and speaker cable only) which he strongly advocates. He has a strong opinion on the type of cables that are to be used for a piece of equipment that I bought from him. He told me to ditch all my power cords away and use stock cords since in his view are doing something malicious to the sound that is not in-line with the idea of natural sound reproduction(he doesn't sell power cords). I personally don't think his priority is all about making more money out of his critical remarks but more to achieving optimum sound from the equipment that he carries, and he has more than 20 years in the business which is also another passion for him. For what it's worth, the designer of the equipment himself is not a believer in cables.

Maybe I am revealing too much now but guess that is the limit that I can disclose.

For the record, I'm not going to try his suggestions of using stock cords. That is drivel to me as well but still it is solely his opinion. In order not to end up with a heated argument, his advice entered my right ear but went out through my left.

Mrtennis, first you said it's a silly question to ask due to the fact that it is impossible to evaluate the sound of a particular cable when listening to a system. Secondly you questioned about the posting of this seemingly petty issue.

Firstly, please take note that I am not asking about the evaluation of sonic character of cables. I am asking whether anyone had experienced the same, whether their cables(or equipment) have been criticized. Why I am getting so "exercised" by the criticism? Again you are coming up with your own suppositions which have proven to be quite synonymous with your style, just like you have been advocating panel speakers over cone speakers in other threads. I just thought of posting this one since I have never seen a similar thread discussing on this topic and felt the responses may be interesting, hence the question which in your mind is a waste of time and space.

Give it a rest, especially with your continuous preaching on the superiority of panel speakers over box speakers. Now I realize how some responses have come by to your numerous comments that you can differentiate between panel and cone speakers 9 out of 10 times blindfolded. One of them being "a mouth-gag is a better idea than blindfold" may have been appropriate.

it is also a fact that it is difficult to evaluate the contribution of cable to the overall sound of a stereo system. there are too many vriables.

Hi Mrtennis,
Try posting this in every threads in the cable forum. It would be interesting to see what responses you would get.

Again, you missed the point. I have not disputed your argument as it is not within the context of the point of discussion.
