Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?

Greenman - You make great points and ask a great question. I've learned over the years that the best way for me to make determinations about different products is through EXTENSIVE listening, i.e. listening for a long time with component A in the system (meaning many hours over considerable time - not just a day) and doing the same with component B, then back to A... As far as "knowing what we know", all I can say is that I know after this type of auditioning that I prefer one in my system, the RELATIVE "colorations" of each one TO THE OTHER, etc. With the CTs one can easily do the same thing. By the way, I'd certainly agree with the capricious memory thing if I were doing shorter auditions.

Greenman, I do not think the problem is limited to CT cables, but with them there clearly is a settling down time. You are right that it does make A/B comparisons more difficult. With other cables I had found that in A/B comparisons I would flex all of them and then compare them, assuming that they would all be equally disadvantaged. This would more greatly disadvantage the CT cables. I do find, however, that listening long term gives you a real clue to their benefits. At its root the question is which cables do you want to live with not how do we "know" which are best.

I have some cables filled with oban single malt.So smooooth.

Brucegel, why are your cables not full of Brucegel?
