| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? maritime51 I don’t know if I feel sorry for her, or you. I think blind audiophiles without a price list would have a much better sound system and plenty of money to burn elsewhere. | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? My wife is blind in both eyes. I told her she picked out the expensive cable 5 of 5 times and since its a valid double blind test we had to purchase the expensive (looking / no pun) cable. | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? All I am saying there should be some type of testing to pick out the best cable for your system other than cool factor, price, and technical jargon. Perhaps ABX testing. If I spent 10k for cables, I would want to be able to correctly distinguish t... | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? I think this should come down to some serious double blind testing, which may be embarrassing for many when they can't correctly pick the shinola. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I love Kimber Kable (12TC). 8' pair cost $750. Chinese Kimber cost $45. Found out they have the same specs, so they sound the same. I did not have to listen to the expensive ones. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with bs", has worked well for high end cable companies. | |

| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Do I need to burn in the radio frequencies for my wireless stereo? | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? If someone sneaked into your listening room and replaced your cables with the exact same cables that were not burned in, how long would it take for you to notice the difference in sound? If someone gave you a 10 to 1, $ bet that you could pick ou... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Perhaps listen to your cables when they are new (no burn in). Have a friend take your cables for a week or so. Tell him to burn the cables in or do nothing, but don't reveal it to you. Listen to the cables again for the obvious difference in sound... | |
| Bass and treble levels Over the last 40 years I have never used them. I have always tweaked my room and speaker placement. However, now I have a new room, speakers and power (McIntosh) units. I am currently using a McIntosh c47 preamp. After dialing everything in the so... | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? May have missed it, is there any specification data with these isolation feet? No? I can hang my components via wires to my ceiling for less money. That's isolation. Uh-Oh, do I need high end wires? | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I use high end fake Kimber. They look great and I can BS my friends into hearing the difference 2k speaker cables can make. Here's my dilemma, I can buy these cables at $75 a pop. I think I could sell them (only locally) to people I know for about... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Pink Floyd, Careful with That Axe, Eugene. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I set up a new listening room recently (McIntosh and Revel). I auditioned several different sets of interconnects and speaker cables (AudioQuest, Tara Labs, and Kimber). After several days of listening, I perceived very little (if any) difference ... |
