You should not be criticized for comparing and preferring zip cord, and others who compare and prefer something else should not be criticized either...neither should be accused of confirmation bias...

I did a comparison in the 1990’s and included a Home Depot 12 gauge power cord (with ends cut off, cut to length), cheap Radio Shack speaker wire and a set of Transparent and Cardas Speaker cables. The Home Depot sounded great... it was better than the Radio Shack stufff... I might have compared Monster (I know I compared several Monster products... they were no better than the what comes with components, speaker wire may have been one of them). The Transparent and Cardas were much better... and very different from each other. At the time I think I had a Threshold preamp and amp. I have much better equipment now. I will say, that my office system is still using a Home Depot power cord speaker wire. If you don’t want to spend more than $100 - $150... it is a very good alternative. I find the lower tier speaker wire, power cords and interconnects, generally of little benefit... especially the hooking up budget components. I have a Schiit Gungnir multi-bit DAC, and Prima Luna Integrated amp, with Totem speakers on my office system. I am sure if this was my main system... I would research the heck out of it and find some used $1k cables and interconnects that would improve the sound a little. |
audphile1, Let's put our cards on the table shall we. You wouldn't like any video no matter how it sounded. Your feathers were ruffled from the start and continue to be ruffled. You're just getting yourself all worked up over this. |
