| Cables more hype than value? Why don't we all just agree to disagree and go on to better/other things? Because there are no better issues for cables. | |
| Cables more hype than value? Al, I always enjoy your posts. You're a classy guy. I understand your position, that classical theory tells you shouldn't hear cable differences, but in a system context you feel you still do. I can take leaps of faith for audibility with active c... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Irv, to say I believe in differences is not an insult but for you to hear it is?. That's rich.Oh come now, Nonoise, I'm not talking about the discussion of possible differences being bandied about, I was referring to the insults and negativity, wh... | |
| Cables more hype than value? That is an interesting twist you used there Irv. I've always associated the cable non-believers with the flat earth scientist. Since they are the ones who limit their minds to the boundries of what present day science can explain. Cable believers ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Nonoise, your post is nonsensical. (BTW, it's Romex, not Nomex.) Why is it that you true believers are allowed to insult the intelligence and the veracity of us cable atheists, yet when someone like me answers you with the same sort of demeaning c... | |
| Cables more hype than value? These are the ones with clear shrink wrap and all copper conductor. I believe 1st generation ...I use speaker cables like that, but I can't remember the brand offhand. Carolco? 10 gauge. Flat bass, great highs. Not congested. Awesome sound. | |
| Cables more hype than value? 03-07-13: KnghifiThese forums are a great place to learn but one needs an OPEN mind. It's possible rok2id upgraded from his Yugo with a new perspective?A friend of mine sent me an email, saying I should peek back in here, and see what turmoil I've... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Nonoise, I will openly admit that I'm only discussing this with you because I'm avoiding a task that I really to need to accomplish, a very difficult and arduous task, and arguing with someone who believes he can hear the difference between termin... | |
| Cables more hype than value? On amplifiers, he does say that amplifiers of a similar design, matched in levels and run below clipping are indistinguishable from each other in listening tests. He never said that all amps - tube and solid state, set and push-pull, all sound the... | |
| Cables more hype than value? One set of cables are designed to "fit" the requirements of an amp and a pair of speakers. Said cable will not work as well with other amps and speakers since they are of different design and needs.No one cable is good enough for all applications?... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Are "properly designed" and "given application" escape clauses? No, not at all. I'm just stating this caveat because you *can* improperly design a cable and make it sound different. You can make speakers cables that have too small a gauge for a gi... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Well said. I think I detected a little Aczelian influence.Last night I reread his review of the Parasound A21 power amp. How refreshing to read a real review. I really miss his input. he was the last of a kind. The only thing between truth and the... | |
| Cables more hype than value? The implication being that no believers are technically astute. Clearly, not the case. How does one explain the many clearly "technically astute " individuals who are believers. It is true that there is a lot of hype; but that, in no way, suggests... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Why does it matter so much to non-believers, that some of us believe?For two reasons:1. It gives technically astute people, who many of us admire and value the opinions of, a negative view of those of people active in high-end audio. The cable lie... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Rok2id, I've been where you are, done what you have, in that I tried to argue the unarguable on the Audiogon cable forum. You are absolutely, positively correct, and it won't make slightest bit of difference to those who are convinced they can hea... |
