why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Cables can only do so much. Finding the right pairing for your speakers can be a pain. I've just come to the realization that an old pair of cables I had lying around were perfect for my speakers. I stated something to that effect earlier on but f... | |
Cable Cooking/Burnin Good point. | |
Be honest please I don't look down on anyone for any reason unless they're loud and obnoxious about it. | |
Hi-Fi can be less expensive than anything Inna, I, too started out trying to find traditional American folders and found this site that I think you might find interesting. Canal Street Cutlery caught my eye as they are former Schrade employees who started their own shop using old fashione... | |
Cable Cooking/Burnin Good point. Annealing has to allow slow cooling to strengthen the metal (or glass) and to remove impurities. This makes me wonder if it's doable with a high dose of cable cooking vs just playing music. It's probable that it all winds up the same i... | |
Hi-Fi can be less expensive than anything Inna, they are folding knives of the slip-joint variety. The first type I started with are laguiole knives and now I'm working on capuchadou knives .Both are modern interpretations of the centuries old French peasant knives.I'm afraid to say I've ... | |
Hi-Fi can be less expensive than anything Priorities and perspectives. It should only matter to you and to heck with anyone who looks down on you or questions you. I've recently started collecting some rather beautiful French knives and some friends at work seem taken aback by their cost ... | |
Cable Cooking/Burnin I'm leaning towards agreeing with Sarcher30 on this. After removing the Herbies Big Foot dots from under my speaker and placing them directly (verboten!) on their sturdy maple stands, the sound improved in a big and positive way. More focus, bette... | |
Cable Cooking/Burnin David,I'd like to respect the privacy of the cable maker and not involve him in this. The last thing I'd want is to somehow hurt his sales or his integrity on this forum or other venues. As for your generous offer, I have well over 300 hours on my... | |
Cable Cooking/Burnin It very well might be an old wife's tale but on his site he offers cable cooking if the customer asks for it but told me he doesn't believe in it base on what he hears.As for my self, I've gotten used to the routine of just playing music and witne... | |
Cable Cooking/Burnin One cable maker told me that he didn't believe in breaking in cables on a cable cooking device. Something about it not being a true audio signal and how it affects and uses the dielectric to the point where it becomes a constant, of sorts, playing... | |
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable There are some basics when it comes to cable that can be measured. Then there's everything else that can't or is on the cutting edge of what can be known and demonstrated. I think the question is whether the price of admission to 'what if' is what... | |
What time do you wear? Casio GA1000-8A. | |
Speakers or Amp I'd experiment with the speakers and do audition before you buy. Hopefully you've kept some older speaker cables around so you can experiment more fully.All the best,Nonoise | |
Disappointing audition after great review A critic is a writer with a license to exaggerate. A audio reviewer can be a lot of things, some good, some bad. |
