Yes, cables are system dependent,as my predecessors point out. But; it is funny how, in much of audio, certain brands are highly revered,and command great resale,and certain others ,you have to give away. Although the brand you have to give away may be better. You said this guy was local? If your seriously interested; take home broken in ones/with exchange privilege. Audioquest,and Cardas have great resale value. If you buy them for a good used price you hardly stand to get hurt.This can be said of the other brands /mit & trans.as well.Your dealer is in buisness to make $. Don't "use" him.(As in get his advice, & demo/then buy used.)
Is my Salesman telling the Truth?
I stopped by my local hifi salon yesterday and my sales guy was blabbing how much cardas sucks and taralabs are so much better. Since the topic of cable preference is a very personal/subjective issue, I decided not to touch it with a 3 meter pole. He then goes on to say that network cables such as Transparent and MIT doesn't do a thing for single wire post speakers (non-biwire). I understand that most sales guys are knowledgeable and would never lie to make a sale (yeah right), but can some one comfirm or explain why this is? Thanks in advance.
