Who says cables don't make a difference?
Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables".
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables.
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.

Any measurements will NOT change the mind of these guys. We saw that first hand here with the posts on Iconoclast cables. Even when those measurements are shown, they say: they don’t matter, irrelevant, not audible, beyond human hearing threshold, very small to worry about, blah, blah, 😑 So why even bother? Nothing will do. These folks are firmly entrenched in their bunkers. |
The funny thing is, certain people who believe cables are junk, ripoff, snake oil, like our senile friend Dow Jones here, or like AtDavid posting under his many fake accounts (this time “Robert” 😂😂) go in every single cable thread they can find. They search for them! Question is why? If something does not interest you, why bother? Serious question. |
Hey Mitch2 ——‘ people who don’t worry about cables are the happiest people in the world” —- quoting you. Are you sure? Then why are you guys in every single cable thread you can find in the Internets? This is how you happy people spend your time? So wasting your time in topics you “don’t worry” about is part of your happiness? Not sure if this kind of thing is happiness much. More like miserable |
Show me! bring it on what you have. I have only seen negative posts from you, i.e. don’t do this, don’t do that, this is snake oil, etc. etc. I have never seen anything constructive, helping people with the stuff that you proclaim to be a specialist. Under this handle and under your previous atdavid handle, and God knows what other handles. Can you have a bit more positivity, focus on what you know, rather than simply bashing stuff you have zero interest on? Why be a Debbie Downer? |
Oh come on AtDavid. I figured out very quickly that “roberttdid” was banned “AtDavid” with a new handle. If one were to simply read a couple of posts from both “names”, would quickly know it’s one and the same person. Why did you have to change your name though? You are very famous too: https://memegenerator.net/instance/69471456/fat-guy-with-computer-im-fixing-the-internet-guys |
Ethan: WE ARE testing whether an individual can reliably detect which of two cables is which. BUT .... I am not testing the cable, I am testing the audiophiles claim w.r.t. cablesHmmmm.... so you are testing people, not audio gear / cables ? And why? What is your end result? it sounds like your test subjects (people) are this disgraced species, the audiophiles. |
He already did, when posting under atdavid account. In a conversation with Mike Powell: atdavid736 posts11-18-2019 11:23amI am there for work every 8 weeks approximately, but no guarantees on a Friday. I am certainly in. I don't think it matters if me or Dimora is a believer or not, as long as you are. If you can pick your cables out blind (or between a basic shielded cable and yours) then you have proved they make a difference. I don't know whether this ever materialized. Mike ? |
@mahgister --- you don't understand, I am sorry. This sophist's blindtest experiments are meant to test the listener, not the gear. He has made it clear multiple times. Under both his accounts, atdavid first now this "robert". Most certainly they are not meant to test HIM. So, similar to Mike Powell's offer to him when he was atdavid to visit him to blindtest the cables, he will likely ask you to do the same --- ask YOU to blindtest your tweaks, not him on his own. |
I tell you the truth @speedbumb6. The reason why these characters spend their time in all cable forums, their entire life. They are here to save the poor souls from the evil of cable makers 😂. Like good Samaritans, or missionaries. Robert told me this. Back then when he was posting under @atdavid fake account. He specifically told me that I cannot be saved. He was there to save the others, according to him hundreds of newbies who he believes are out there, silently reading these forums. And that’s the truth my friend. That’s why they are in all cable forums. The crusade runs very deep! And @andy2 don’t worry, he is probably busy fighting his holy war somewhere else, in other Audio forums and Facebook. I am 100% sure. He is a full time missionary. Or crusader. And if he is indeed banned (I don’t blame Audiogon for banning him, he never buys or sell anything here to make them a single dime), he will eventually resurface under a different fake account. Which again, I will easily spot, like this time with AtDavid becoming “Robert” |
