Interconnects and non-believers

unreceivedogma,
" On another note, my friend also says the Shure V15 type III was maybe the best cartridge ever made" At least he used the word "maybe", but everything he says audio related after that IMHO is suspect at best. It does however explain why he didn't hear much difference (at least not enough to pay for it) with cables.

Cable threads are kind of like patchouli, they stink after a while 

Florida71, boxer12,

speaking of threads, I have a friend who has been experimenting with shoelace for speaker wire. Currently in blind testing. I’ll let you know when the results are in.

in all seriousness, I’ve worked as a creative director in healthcare marketing for 25 years. The FDA rigorously scrutinizes every claim, each and every one must have substantiated data. That’s why I’m particularly skeptical of any claim, never mind overblown ones.

boxer12,

Deutche Grammaphon doesn’t hire slackers. his 6 Grammies speak for themselves. How many Grammies do you have?

that said, I had a Shure. It was great and probably still is under certain conditions. I use Koetsu and van den Hul now.

“Elizabeth, WHICH OIL did you use? That’s the important part, not that you did it yourself. Using the correct oil will boost mileage and hp by 50%.... :)”

Snake oil, of course 

unreceivedogma,
I don't have any grammies

Peace

I have to laugh when people defend their position by suggesting that people are deluding themselves or scientifically can’t have the ability to hear the difference between cables. As if science has already explored and explained everything.
