Quack System Upgrades

@mb1audio02

Your assertion as to Blue Jeans cables wild claims is, by your own admission, something "they told you". I’m sure you would agree that it is conceivable you misunderstood what you were told. Not saying that you did misunderstand, just a possibility.

So, can you point to something written on their website that makes a wild claim? This way there is no (or less) ambiguity involved.

To your claim BJC has no point of reference, much of the data is already in the public domain. For instance, in my view this data sheet certainly does provides a frame of reference. https://www.belden.com/techdatas/english/5T00UP.pdf.

May I see the data sheet of the cables that you claim significantly out performed the 5T00UP ?

I once rode a modified Suzuki Hayabusa. I didn't have to look at the speedo to know that it was way faster than anything I had ridden before.

"If a cable used in a recording studio has a certain coloration, you don't use the same cable in the playback system, you use cables and components that are transparent so that the system can reproduce the sound of the cable in the recording studio. What happens if they used more than one type of cable in the studio?"

Good point.  

I have read that the studios (no actual experience) use Belden, Canare, and Mogami, or a combination thereof.  I don't buy into the argument that studio engineers who make their livelihoods recording music would not invest more in cables if they thought it would improve their finished product.  Think of the monster $s they make.  Just like any manufacturer of a product isn't going to use less than satisfactory raw materials and expect a quality final product.  I'm not referring to a Grateful Dead on tour scenario where durability is all that matters. 

Of course, trying to convince someone that the most reasonably priced good cables on the market aren't snake oil is bound to fail.

" Where's the funny stuff?? C'mon guys, lets have some fun. I can't be the only member who enjoys a good amount of levity."

"Not going to happen. I didn't get what I wanted for Christmas yesterday, and I'm pissed."

Funny, Happy New Year!

Ain't it funny how threads that start off about quack products and snake oil turn into cable debates in the blink of an eye? Carry on. Smoke if ya got em.
