| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! nonoise - Make friends with a store owner, a drink or two will open up lots of doors when it comes to sampling product. You may, like I have, get to see and or assist in setting up megabuck systems in the 1% households! When their wallets open ... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! nonoise - I tried a slew of cables for free just to see what the hype was about. Some were better than others and some were offered to me at a sweet deal because he could not get rid of them or were demo samples. Some I passed on others I took. ... | |

| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! Al - BRAVO!! jperry - I have the opportunity to get cables well below their MSRP, I tend to buy equipment used so as not to take the depreciation hit. Believe me, I have had some pretty pricey setups in the past, all obtained used. For my aged ... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! jperry - I have a friend that owns a high end shop and I have sampled various cables and interconnects worth $$$$$ and yes I will agree with you, Nordost does sound good and I have been to their demonstrations, however, it is best done in one's ow... | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? Krell KSA 300! Oh my that was a painful experience. Sorry to offend any Krellophites! | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! asp307 - When it comes to money, yes, has nothing to do with me proving how smart I am. I am just trying to generate a discussion on what is transpiring in the industry. The smart consumer is an educated consumer. Would you buy a car on pure hy... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! jmcgrogan2- Ahh, the beauty of freedom of speech, ain't it a grand? As for whining, that is a matter of opinion and as for joining another forum because you dislike what I say, see above. The beauty of it is being able to engage in meaningful di... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! Nonoise, not debunking but rather cringing at some of the ads I recently saw. A 249 dollar wall outlet?? Beeswax filled fuses?? Cryogenic treatedproducts?? Just that we get bombarded with stuff like this just to get our money. Worse than a po... | |
| FUSES??? Just when I just replaced all my PC cords. I understand what you are saying David, but what annoys me is when they use terminologies such as "Quantum Tunneling" which is a quantum mechanics phenomenon, something I am familiar with and why they chose a term if it has nothing to do with thei... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! The very same. BTW sound is not transmitted through speaker wire/cable but rather a signal. | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! I am an engineer first and an audiophile second. I just get tired of the massive increase in prices over time. I have been an audiophile since 1979 and have seen the increase in hype and prices without empirical data to back the claims. I have ... | |
| FUSES??? Just when I just replaced all my PC cords. May I suggest that you look into the claims of Quantum Tunneling before you pay crazy amounts of money on fuses? I would also ask the manufacturer to provide you with actual proof of their claims and not rely on testimonials. Also pose the quest... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I have three pairs of speakers, Vero Research Metornome and soliloqy, and the Acoustat 1+1s. I've owned the 1+1s for an amazing 9 years! I actually picked them up for a song and really had no clue how good they would sound. When i got them home an... |
