Sugarbrie:You'll never prevail with the "fishing-line-is-fishing-line/wire-is-wire" crowd ... casting pearl before swine. 
Is it my imagination?
It is called "arbitrage" and it happens frequently in free markets. 
7500 for USED cables? Are they joking?
I was just kidding in my last post about the $3,000 fishing line. The truth is since I've migrated from using $8.95 fishing line to using $3,000 fishing line, a magical transformation has taken place. Whereas before I was simply going through the ... 
Anybody willing to admit?
Clueless:Do you find that your new and exotic cables have improved the soundstaging, detail, and slam of the silence?

Stealth:The bass boat analogy is a bit off. Mark did not question the logic of high dollar gear (speakers, amps, etc.), just the merit of high priced cables. Thus, expensive boats and trucks to haul them with may be extravagances, but necessary ex...

Ignore the chippy responses above and chalk them up to the fact that many who post here work in the industry and have a financial axe to grind. An audio dealer, as much as any other business person, has an obligation to earn your patronage. I woul... 
no difference between 4k meridian & 400 DVD?
S2:I predicted the flames. It is the only response that the "true believer" is capable of when presented with contradictory evidence. 
no difference between 4k meridian & 400 DVD?
You have hit on the reason that objective testing, particularly double-blind testing, is so unpopular on this and similar sites. Many are threatened by the suggestion that any differences between components/wires are so slight in so many cases tha...

Messy:I have a potential solution that would be not only cost effective but also allow you to use your beloved MAC. Creek makes a remote controlled volume control unit (OBH-10) that retails for $250. If the MAC has jumpers between the pre and powe...
