| The "Snake Oil" Trope @georgehifi" But you are, it's your pocket that will be hurt buy $200+ fuses that a 10c Bussman will do just as good. "Your pocket, last I checked, wasn't part of your physical being. If the cost hurts your pocketbook, then don't buy it; you can'... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @unreceiveddogma " I still found the cables simply to be not worth the money nor my effort. "Whether the audio gains are worth the price of admission is an ENTIRELY different discussion.This discussion is the quandary that better cables do NOT e... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @mijostyn " "How can you have an opinion if you have not listened." I am really sick of that bail out. "Well, I am really sick of being told it is all in my head. That's also a monumental bail out as well as a personal attack. I find that trop... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @georgehifi Straw man. Not an equitable argument. No one is asking anyone to hurt themselves physically. Try again? | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @adasdad " Well have you tried it I asked. No. "^^^^Therein lies the true quandary. How can they assert with confidence that they are correct when they themselves haven't even attempted to experience it?I want to state for the record that a comm... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @vinylguy2016 You’re using a broad judgemental opinion to simplify a complex discussion. That’s also a typical human psychological trait. This concept where humans feel the need to label and compartmentalize everything in order to simplify one’s s... | |
| Fun With Cable Risers @tomic601 Agreed. That's sort of what I get by saving money buying their 0.65M lengths. :) In my previous house it wasn't a problem because the computer was on the other side of the desk I was using. In this new house with a new desk, the comput... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @vinylguy2016Well, since we’re throwing around psychological terms, then let’s go with nay-sayers having cognitive bias. Using measurement tools that were never designed to test quality of signal and generating any graph they want to support their... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @rufusluna Considering that no one on either side has provided actual "scientific proof," I agree with you. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @thelotusgroup You are suggesting that people act with courtesy and regard when having discourse on this subject. The "Snake Oil" trope doesn't lend itself to polite conversation. The entire term is an intended blight upon those who have made the... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @sns I checked out Duelund and VH Audio. They make pre-made speaker and interconnect cables. They sell bulk wire that THEY have made and the application is audio. This is no different than buying spools of Audioquest wire or any other premium... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @dgluke Thing is, there isn't really a company out there that I know of that specializes in selling bulk raw wire that is designed and manufactured with audio applications in mind. They are all built for general electrical and mechanical applicati... | |
| Fun With Cable Risers @millercarbonThank you! I actually started off with extremely crude versions that I cut out using a pair of scissors. I had to use packing tape to maintain the stability of the legs as the weight of my power cables were bending them over. The ... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @mastering92 I disagree. bass, treble, mid range, etc is nothing but frequency transmitted via electricity. Electricity relies solely on conductivity. Frequency, as well as conductivity can be controlled through metallurgy and geometry. As menti... |
