Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs

Even relatively inexpensive cables can be cryo'd and burned in on one of those newfangled cable cookers like the AudioDharma one. It makes for a more level playing field, as it were.

I was under the impression The Amazing Randi already put this whole thing to bed, demonstrating with his Million Dollar Challege that hearing abilities are just so much paranormal ability.

You can get a big boost in SQ sometimes just by flipping the direction of the interconnects. Scout's honor.

Czarivey, I can certainly understand why some folks regard high priced cables as scams, but really, don't you think that ordinary folks, the ones with iPods and Best Buy all in one components, view everything in high end audio as a scam?

Speaking of the Muratas, we demonstrated the Golden Sound Ultra Tweeters at CES back in '05. The Ultras also sit on top of the speakers, which at the time were the new behemoths from Golden Sound. The Ultra Tweeters were connected by thin conventional speaker cable to the speaker terminals. With the Ultra Tweeters in, the sound was spacious, full and intriguing. With the Ultra Tweeters out, the soundstage collapsed, the sound was uninvolving, etc. Now the big reveal. The Ultra Tweeters are not super tweeters at all, they operate at a frequency above 1MHz. They produce no energy below 1MHz. I had two pairs in my system for at least a few years.

It's only your typical male fantasy, like Ferraris, Lambos, sex with Hawaiian Tropic models, let audiophiles have their fantasies, too.

MM - I have a sneaking suspicion you just might have answered your own question. :-))

I heard some very good thing about AudioQuest from someone the other day. I used to have the AudioQuest Truth interconnects (silver) as well as the AudioQuest Truth Digital Cable what twenty years ago. It's kinda difficult to believe the new stuff could be appreciably better than those cables, but I guess you never know.

"Tbg,

You must have a lot of money invested in your system and I suspect it must sound quite good accordingly. Why not post the fruits of your work (ie your system or systems) here on A'gon.

Do you actually buy the products you support? Or are you a reviewer or dealer with special privileges?"

Pretty suspicious sounding. A little snarky, actually, if I can be so bold.
