| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Mitch,"However, there are well-respected manufacturers who do believe in high end/priced cables being different/better so courses for horses, just like with the folks on this thread." Some of them also manufacture speakers and recommend their extr... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? One notable point. Most of the legendary designers of high end audio like Neson Pass, Bob Carver, Arney Nudell, Peter Walker, etc do/did not use or believe in these fairy dust audiophile cables. These are legends that cable manufactures who hock m... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? O_holter, yes there cable manufacturers who are genuinely trying to make great sounding cables at a reasonable cost. I’ve never evaluated JPS. It’s nice to hear they are willing to support customers who bought their cable used. It’s only during th... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Eatts, we have a difference in opinion. Yet you seem to be unable to grasp this simple concept. First, you claimed $100k for cabling is considered cheap to some. Now you revised that to $20k. That’s factor of 5 differential. Either way it’s ridicu... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? jl35, "Curious as to which cheap cables you felt sounded as good as your Ridge Streets"It it depends on which set up I’m using. The ridge street speaker cables are fantastic with the ridge street Sason speakers with tube amplification. But in anot... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Jmcgrogen, "I ask because you come off the same way as those blokes back in the day (1990’s?). Acting as if you are out trying to save the world, when inside it seems like all you really desire is a good tussle. You live for the antagonism, it giv... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Eattsperchannel, I’m not your "dude". I never said mine was the right one. So you are misinterpreting my opinion as fact. All of us are expressing our opinion. You are calling my views on price of cables narrow minded and I’m defacing innocent bys... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? I never said all weren't engineers. There are cables that are made with proven engineering practice by engineers. Whether they sound good to you or not is a different matter."I never worry about the guys who spend a fortune on new cables. if not ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? jl35, even with those "good deals" from direct sale cable manufacturers, they are making a healthy profit, much more than if one were to produce and sell a speaker or amplifier. Why do you think there are so many guys out there making cables from ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? wattsperchannel," Certain individuals find $100,000 wires cheap, some do not; where is the profit in belittling one or the other. It all seams so trite, wreaks of jealousy, and ignorance. Get over it, accept your lot in life and enjoy it for what ... | |

| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? $100K TV is to a videophile as $100K speaker is to an audiophile. I know of no videophile who has spent more than couple of hundred on wires. At least videophiles know wire is wire. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? "I guess audiophiles are still crazy, I've seen worse things..."Such as? I think spending $100k on wires takes the cake. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Asvjerry, it takes two to tango. The sucker who buys $10k+ cable thinking it's money well spent. And the cable manufacturer who thinks there's a sucker around each corner and charges $10k+. You take the sucker out, and no more ludicrously priced ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Tbg, I have tried the High Fidelity interconnects. They're not in my system. |
