More to the point positrons and electrons are self annihilating.

Also, when they annihilate they produce a pair of 511 Kev photons that travel 180 degrees from each other. Probably not what you want happening in your listening room! ;-) |
Swampwalker, seems the cat is out of the bag on DD, doesn't it? It is amazing what has happened to this site over the last couple of years. It has long been the practice, if not policy here, for persons with a financial interest in a product to disclose that relationship when they make posts promoting that product. It is called being ethical, and it seems some of the newer members are having trouble understanding this. One of those having trouble understanding why some of the long term members have a hard spot with this unethical behavior is a lawyer. He seems to be taking it as a personal attack on him. WTH? JMcgrogan has stated openly several times that he has OWNED the CT-1s and found them very good but not game changers. It is amazing how many times he has been accused of having never heard them and belittled by the psychofants AFTER he stated several times that he had owned them.
As to the statement about electrons of opposite polarity, they do exist and are called positrons. Same mass as an electron but with a positive charge, so the statement is conceivable at least in that regard. Beyond that, I don't know.
I have no reason to doubt the sound quality of these cables, as two people that I know and trust have commented extremely positively on this thread. One has offered to bring a pair of his CT 1s over once I have the rest of my system settled in. I have heard his system a couple of times before he got the HF cables and was very impressed. He has told me on the phone how good they are, and I believe him. I look forward to hearing them and will report back my thoughts on them after I listen. |
Swampwalker, just a quick point about positrons that I mentioned in my previous post. Although they do exist, they are only produced during very specific radioactive decay processes. They are not in natural abundance and would likely not be involved in the effect described.
DD, you could stop the banter if you would just answer the simple question you have been asked multiple times on this thread. Do you sell or have any other financial interest in HF cables? You have never answered and it is a very simple question. Yes or no? If you do not answer or divert the question yet again, everyone will have the answer they have been looking for. That is not trolling, it is looking for transparency and integrity, something that appears to be in short supply here.
I am glad for calvin, tbg, etc. that they have found what you are looking for with these cables. I will get to try a pair in my system, hopefully soon. As I said before, I will post my impressions at that time. |
Great posts John. I am not sure how the matter at hand can be made any more clear than that. I am still fairly certain that the point will be missed yet again. |
Roger (Rlawry), nice explanation of what may be at work here with the HF cables. You are one of the people I was referring to in my first post that have me convinced of the sound quality of the HF cables. If they are a big improvement over the ID cables that I purchased from you, they must really be outstanding as the ID cables are truly excellent also. I take you at your word on it, as well as the other member that I mentioned in that first post. Enjoy them. |
"See everybody this is why he came here in the first place. Issues with me not the actual product. I don't own or have a financial stake in high fidelity I have a stake in how my system sounds."
Please find for me where I said you had any financial interest in HF cables. Unless you and DD are one and the same, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, I never addressed you until you addressed me. The amp you sold me was not a special "deal", it was the going rate. You did not sell it to me for that price out of the goodness of your heart. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a fool. If you had been offered more, you would have sold it for more, plain and simple. I only brought our other non-transaction to light to show that you are not the swell guy that you are trying to make yourself out to be. That much should be obvious to people that can both read and comprehend English.
"I don't bash products"
Please point out to me where I bashed this product anywhere. You can search the internet as much as you want, it is not there.
"I could care less about how anybody comments or why they comment it's up to me to decide. I speak for myself not anyone else on this thread. I have never said anything to golf on this thread so you addressed me so I'm addressing you."
You apparently care a great deal about how people comment or you wouldn't be so worked up. You should probably read the thread again, because as usual you have it completely backwards....unless of course you and DD are one and the same. Before you get all sideways, I'll say it again, I don't think that is the case. As far as not speaking for anyone else, you have spoken for DD over and over and over and over. Hey, whatever.
:@cmsgolf. No one has to answer to anyone. It's funny how it bothers you that someone posts how much they like something."
Wrong again, it is amazing how little you understand of what you read. Please read JMcgrogan's last post above slowly and try to comprehend what he is getting at. It is not directed at you at all. That post gets right to the heart of the issue. This point has been made countless times and is only directed at one person who is not being forthright. I'll give you the hint again, it is not you that is being questioned. Honestly, I think it is great that people are this in love with a product. I would never have known about this product if it weren't for this thread. Sadly, it has turned into the twilight zone.
"Like right now this back and forward between me and you is irrelevant to most people who come here."
Funny, but if you read back through this, you addressed me first, not the other way around. You can thank yourself, not me, for this.
"Last question. Have you heard the ct1 enhanced, ultimates or ultimate reference in your current system? People want to know what your impressions are not what you think about other people that we all will never meet, speak to or ever interact with. Then again that's just my Bizarre opinion.
Calvinj (Threads | Answers | This Thread)"
You know the answer to that, at least if you can understand English. From what I can tell from reading this thread, that is highly doubtful. Here is another clue, we are interacting right now. That does not need to be done face to face to be occurring. Hopefully all of this is a little more clear for you, but I doubt it. Bizarre indeed. |
I was finally able to get a decent deal on a used pair of CT-1 interconnects. I have to say that I am very impressed with them. They are the best I have had in my system to this point. Describing what they do so well is difficult to put into words. They are incredibly detailed, but they maintain proper tone and harmonic integrity. No tipped up top end that is etched, or thin bass response. They are incredibly quiet as well. This allows you to hear into the recording venue and allows notes to fully and naturally decay. They make other cables I have tried, sound as if the recordings were done using gating in the mix. It is one of those things that you never realize is happening until hear a cable like the CT-1.
I can only imagine what the upper level cables sound like. I am looking to get my hands on a used set of CT-1 speaker cables to find out how they compliment the interconnects. I would love to compare them with what I currently own, which is the MG Audio Planus 3. The MG cables are excellent in their own right. Depending on how that works out, I would consider moving up to the enhanced cables for both speaker and interconnects. Realistically, I understand that I would likely never be able to go higher up the line than that, but I am thinking that I would love to get to even that point. |
Calvin, no problems. The Gato speakers look beautiful and I am sure they sound great as well. I have a new set of speakers in the works as well. I am having a set of Vapor Cirrus upgraded to Joule Black. I am very much looking forward to having them in my room. I am hoping that they will be the last speaker I ever buy. I know how that goes though. I am hoping to have my cabling more settled by the time the speakers arrive. Enjoy your new speakers and happy listening. |
Well Calvin, I never said that you lacked integrity and really have no clue where you get that from. I have no idea why you are talking about Tara Labs with me, I have never owned any. I am enjoying the Statement Plus amp. If you are going to tell the story, tell the whole thing not just the part that makes you look like a swell guy. I also remember that you made an offer on a DK Design upgraded to Statement Plus right after I purchased your amp. "Gets it done" was your quote. If you remember, you made your offer at midnight. By 11AM the next morning you were emailing me asking me to reject the offer because I was taking too long. When you take away 7 hours for sleep, I had 4 hours to consider an offer that was lower than what I was considering for a bottom line. ($1100 less than what I paid for yours, BTW). Who was getting the deal there or looking to really make out? I more than gladly rejected the offer after that. Out of all of the transactions I have conducted on this site, that was clearly in the top three for most bizarre and maybe even number one. By the rules of Audiogon, I have 48 hours to make that decision. When you offer on an item, you are agreeing to conduct the transaction in accordance with the rules for buying listed on this site. Apparently you feel those rules don't or shouldn't apply to you. You also have made it clear that you don't care that one of the people that constantly praises these cables refuses to declare or deny his relationship with the company in question. The forums are not to be used to promote a product that someone has a financial interest in. It has been that way here for a long time. I don't see why that is so difficult to understand. He could have easily ended this discussion a long time ago and has chosen not to. I have no problem with end users here praising any product as much as they feel like. It is a good thing when people are elated with their purchases and their systems.
If I don't own the cables, what better way is there to find out about the sound than being able to try them for free in my own system? That is the way any reasonable person would do it if they have the choice. If you had the chance to try an amp or speakers or cd player in your system before you purchase, wouldn't you do so? It would be foolish not to. I don't understand the problem with it. If I like the cables enough, I can purchase a set. If not, I am out nothing. I have never, even one time, bashed this product. For some reason, you have this innate ability to take bits and pieces of what 4 different people say and attribute all of it to each of them. Again, very bizarre. |
I bought a set of the adapters right after they were announced and added them on to a set of CT-1s. At that time, he was only listing them for the one end of the cable (between the component output and the cable). They work very nicely with the CT-1s that I currently own. They provide more of what the CT-1s do well. I have not tried them on a non-HFC cable so am not sure what benefit they will provide there. I will probably buy a set for the other end of that cable set in the near future. I would say that for those wanting to experiment with this technology, these are a great place to jump in. |
