| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Painting is an active process, making something from, sort of, nothing. Listening is a receptive process. They are incomparable. Painting is not your inborn activity. Listening is. You have to develop/learn the skill of painting. You are born list... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? "It’s very common for audio dealers to hand a customer some used cable with a request that he try it in his system."The other part of the story is that it is getting very uncommon to find an audio dealer.Should it be expected that a dealer who doe... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? geoffkait,Two "what about this" questions that are off the thread topic, but that came to me after reading your list above.Don’t you sometimes, maybe secretly, wish that you do find someone who agrees with you? Do you ever wonder how that would fe... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? clearthink,I was probably not clear enough in my previous post. I am aware that $500 is almost a joke of a price in "audiophile" circles. That does not make anyone out of those circles wrong for wondering if paying so much money is worth it. Is it... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? chemman,I wish I could write about my views of this topic in a short and simple way. However, I do not need to do it as you have just done it in your previous post addressed to me. I can only sign it, sort of. To the letter, even the part about th... | |

| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? geoffkait,Unfortunately, "chair contains foam similar to something" does not equal "it sounds bad". Writing 101.What-about-this and what-about-that routines are not that routine at all. I do understand that direct questions asked about your, to sa... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? nonoise,I suspect that you're prone to projection, at least in this case.You are definitely right about that one.At the same time, sides here are so fierce about their beliefs that no logic will settle it and, so far, I am the only one who raised ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? geoffkait,"Glupson, I didn’t say they were comfortable. I said they sounded bad."You misunderstood me. I neither said, nor implied you said the IKEA chairs were comfortable. As chairs are primarily used for sitting and not changing the sound in th... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? chemman,I think that bias may occur, although I am not sure it is always in favorable direction.For whatever it is worth, I recently blasphemously bought a cable (RCA) without ever listening to it. It was a few-hundred-Dollar "upgrade" from $15-16... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? According to the picture on the Internet, that IKEA chair seems uncomfortable. Which one may claim for most, if not all, of the IKEA products.The question arises, what is better investment for a $1000-2000? Good listening chair or a good cable of ... | |
