Speaker cable made in USA?

is it that important that such a low tech industry need to be made here? I would think as long as they were terminated properly whats the big deal..or is it buy American and I am missing something?

Raquel: The manufacture told you this..in reality this is a very low tech industry. Most of the cable maybe unknown to you comes off of very giant spools. At least one honest speaker cable company admits that they determine cable direction depending which way the cable is cut off the spool. I gather that many believe that these companies hire techs the way Intel does and they walk around all day with lab coats on. Lets look at it this way. If you in your basement can make em just as good or better for very much less with very little in tooling and knowledge does that not tell you something????

take a look at anti cables ..does this look like a high tech design? And do you think NASA is knocking down his door? The might be winning best sound for the price. But high tech..no way.

highly complex designs with a lot of science behind them...tell me the name of the scientist that are designing audiophile cables Raquel...if any cable manufacturer, writer, technician, etc. can identify such an audible design parameter that cannot be measured using available lab equipment or be described by known theory, I can guarantee a nomination for a Nobel Prize. You have been hood winked into thinking this and so continue to spend hard earned cash on special configuration wire that sounds no better then the anti cables that are nothing more then solid core wire,,certainly nothing high tech about that.

There are other reasons people might think they hear the sound change even when no change is likely. One is the limit of auditory memory - if it takes 15 minutes to swap a set of speaker cables, it will be more difficult to recall the original sound when compared to switching quickly between two different sources. Crawling around on the floor will also likely raise your blood pressure, which can affect perception. We also hear differently early in the day versus later when we're tired, and just listening for a while can change our perception. Does that solid state amp really sound different after warming up for half an hour, or is it just our perception that changed? Add a couple of cocktails to the mix and then you really can't tell for sure what you're hearing! This was written by Ethan Winer and it makes allot more sense to me then spending hard earned cash on something that just might not be there.

Raquel...your a new kid on the block I can tell extra cash in the pocket and susceptible to the Madison ave commercial industry..so cables are your thing and no matter what is said at the end of the day. This low tech industry that has made millions off of no peer reviewed papers. Continues to use the same argument every issue from some high end advertisement Mag by saying. We have broken new ground in sound reproduction...complete nonsense. And at the end of the day when all go home after the fleecing.They can say without hesitation not a bad days pay for just selling wire.

PS - I've been associated with the industry for thirty-five years and my knowledge of the audio cable business is not based upon something that some manufacturer told me (or that some no-nothing wrote on an audio forum).

That's the clincher what you just wrote..your associated with the industry so of course there has to be a higher science to all this..so tell me how many scientist do you employ ...I'm just asking remember me I am the no-nothing.Thirty five years in the cable business and you never strayed from it ..wow allot of suckers took the bait.I am guessing there more to make markup wise in selling fantasy cable then designing a reliable tube amp?

Swampwalker...is that what the doctor has ordered? Sure lol
