>>I had a pair of silver/copper pro silway IIs that had some nice bass control and openness qualities when used with my CDP but they also had a horrific tiring glare. No getting around it. They sucked in that role to the point of being unlistenable.<<
This is the kind of thing that fascinates me. What in a cable would cause "glare?" These comments treat the cable as if one listens to a cable that plays music through a speaker, like a guiatr string. No responsibility is given to any other component for music reproduction. For some reason, cable enthusiasts are very trusting of their other components -- the ones that have the toughest most complex job -- and endlessly suspicious of their cables -- which have the easiest job in the entire chain.
Cable advertisers have done a superb job of getting audiophiles to overlook huge problems in their speakers and rooms and to fixate on their cables, inventing problems where none exist.
It is easily demonstrated that rooms have glare, but no -- it must be the cable -- even though there's no evidence whatsoever that cables cause glare.
Okay, I know this is a vibration control thread, but I just had to comment.
