| Cables more hype than value? In those intervening six years or so you'll find lots here of the same mind as me who've already stated as much in other threads and are of a wider exposure and experience level and are given much more respect and difference in their thoughts and ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Here we go off the civil path. Neither foolish nor difficult, but patient enough to tolerate another's view. Wish I could say the same. How does that saying go? "I'll support any man searching for the truth but will fight anyone who claims to know... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Okay. One set of cables are designed to "fit" the requirements of an amp and a pair of speakers. Said cable will not work as well with other amps and speakers since they are of different design and needs. No one cable is good enough for all appl... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Are "properly designed" and "given application" escape clauses? If so, then you've just described a cable made to order for a "specific" application.Friend who are not into this hobby as much as I can hear the difference as well but don't consider... | |
| Cables more hype than value? A reasonable person is always open to possibilities. Nothing is black and white and there are no absolutes: lots of grey area out there.Self appointed high priests of truth are dime a dozen, regardless of field. Sad to say they are here in audio a... | |

| Cables more hype than value? The case against empirical evidence.1) Your ears don't hear sound, they hear wires, which all sound the same.2) What we know so far, scientifically, is to be discarded regarding our hearing since all wires conduct sound the same way, so why bothe... | |

| Cables more hype than value? This is more akin to a political discussion than one about a hobby. Everyone can have their own opinions but everyone cannot have their own facts.The fanatically heated responses border on religion as well. Belief in a sentence or saying becomes a... | |
| USING SPEAKER TECHNOLOGY TO KICK OPEN DOORS Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 4th movement. Dry off to "O Freunde, nicht diese Tone!"All the best,Nonoise | |
| Cables more hype than value? Double Blind Testing is nothing more than a parlor trick devised by people with an agenda. We've all known "friends" who for some reason never warmed to stereo like we did. Detraction started early for me as I went deeper into this hobby and those... | |

| What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear In DBT you can never prove the null (that there's never a difference), only fail to reject it.
