| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? The arrogance is the worst part of the theorists. Having transitioned from that perspective to a practitioner, it's like being a reformed smoker in a room of people lighting up. They are polluters. As someone who was a cable skeptic but now uses t... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Dana quest, great, now you should have two cables for comparison! Have at it! You should not need blind testing to compare the fact cable to throw away cable. The test is to see if you can hear a difference. Whether it's worth it is another questi... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Veroman, you came off as arrogant, and I critically assessed your system.To that you respond, " upset at work or is it at home," and "get off your horse son," and " I guess trumpism has got to you too."I expect a higher quality of discussion. Unl... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? dynaquest, it's Soo's livelihood, but it's not mine. I don't get paid to write my reviews. I am fully aware that it is counter-productive to do so, but I also do not wish to be encumbered by the politics of the industry. I do not subscribe to the ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? zkzpb8, thank you for referencing that article! I was the author of that article, and let me tell you it was a fascinating experience! I went to the point of putting my subjective impressions to the test literally, even though as a reviewer it wou... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Frankly, most threads on this site have marginal usefulness in terms of practical system building. They often go off the rails, typically by someone making a religious or political derogatory comment. That diminishes the value of the discourse eve... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Shadorne, as you might guess I differ in my assessment of the purported success of Darwinism. Of course, jumping DNA doesn't work when there is no DNA to work with; there is not even close to a reasonable hypothesis of how DNA got here! The jumpin... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Randy, as a religious person I see bo1972's behavior and character as being more in line with Darwinists who attempt to dictate what "reality" is based on low confidence science subject to assumptions and bias. If you would like to read more about... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Correction, third paragraph should be "your budget" not "you're budget". | |
| Wilson Audio Haters Veroman, seriously? Looking at your system you have a horribly compromised system which seems set up with one principle paramount, not spending much money. You are running an analogue EQ to try and save the sound. That is a 40 year old technique w... | |
| Vandersteen mb1audio02, your comments mirror the perceptions of a good number of audiophiles. Any speaker will leap to impressive performance levels when placed with very fine gear and set up well. One method of system building which is "tried and true" is to... | |
| Vandersteen The point of the OP is valid imo. There are many speakers which are superior to the Vandy II and III in terms of tightness and accuracy of the bass especially. I found this to be the case regardless of listening level. These models of the Vanderst... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I don't envision a dealer allowing someone off the street to bring cables, sit back and allow multiple hookups by a rookie. Not gonna happen. I call B.S. It doesn't help that the OP brags of his serial duplicity. The test conducted by the OP was ... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters bo1972, is "Tru-Fi" objectively derived (i.e. through test equipment measurement) or subjectively derived (i.e. through listening impressions)? If it is objectively derived, i.e. through analysis or measurement by machine, or a new component, the... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters bo1972, based on your posts and the system linked to on Facebook I find you to have no superiority in setting up systems in comparison to better dealers. In fact, I see what I consider to be a glaring mistake in your method. :) |
