Hype, Hyperbole and high price!

Ah, the tempest in the teacup rages on...
I'd pay to watch a competitive cable flogging match.  It'd be interesting to see which cable outlasted the others.  Akin to seeing a golf tournament played with slingshots and pool cues...by the pros...just for 'comparison's sake'...
Yes, I am jerking y'all's leashes...just because I like to watch the fur start to fly.  The whole 'cable issue', regardless of application of same, is gone way out of proportion IMHO.  It really starts to take on the vague status of 'male member proportions' and the importance of That.  Really?!
*Sigh*  "My cable's better than yours Because...."  Fine.  Buy what you feel you need for whatever you feel you can afford to pay for it for whatever you think it does for you.
A Lamborghini or an old VW 'bug' accomplish the same thing at the end of the day.  The owner of either will have rationalizations as to why each is 'necessary'.
And I'll go find some other forum to be a pest. *G*

Hey, Kenny!  Check this out....http://rynomotors.com/
People seem to smile more at this than an HD...just saying...;)

"Let’s us also not forget that the reason we have such great tubes/valves-for-the-aficionado, is that the USSR was so far behind us in electronics that they perfected their tubes for use in MIG radar. That is why tubes come from Russia and China.

TRIVIA: When turning and firing their cannons, MIG pilots had to compensate for the gravitational forces on the stretching elements in the tube radar."

For voice communication tubes are the cat’s meow. It actually wasn’t until the late ’80s that the pilot to controller radios in all the FAA centers were converted over from tube electronics to solid state since there was an availability issue. Unfortunately the advantages of Russian amd Chinese tubes don’t actually crossover to high end tube electronics you know do to the superiority of American and British NOS tubes. I will give the Russians props for using tubes in fighter aircraft, which employed tubes for the communication section, too, all the way up to the Mig-31, as tubes are certainly superior to solid state when it comes to withstanding high over pressures results from nuclear explosions.

I hooked up my rca cables with the arrows pointing towards the CD player and the music played backwards. Pushed the phase button on my pre-amp and fixed the problem.

Hilarious! , the op got drove right off his own thread. 

Well, this was really fun!  What an entertaining thread.  I had to read the whole thing, I just couldn't help myself.  As well as LMAO, I did actually learn a thing or two, I think.

I used to be in the motorcycle business--odd that motorcycles came into this discussion, but we use to have a little saying that used to prove itself out time and time again as we would buy and sell motorcycles that ranged from stock & custom Harley's, custom choppers, Japanese bikes, bikes in great condition or just plain disasters and everything in between, and that was; "there's a seat for every saddle".
