12' would be just the right length to be able to fashion the noose that my
wife would tie around my neck with these, with enough left over to throw
over a rafter if I was standing on the chair that she would shortly
thereafter kick out from under me.

Oh, that's funny...

You can buy a speaker cable, or feed 1/2 of the starving
people in a small country for a month...

Or hell, forget the food, and buy a car!

A new custom guitar, or two...

scumbags....


I love the Bay Area Audiophiles guy too...

How about Bay Area Really Fugged-up Yahoos?

BARFY...

"low capacitance at 114pf/FT"... well, Canare 4S11 cable is only
45pf/FT, and I can probably get a Kilometer for $7200!!

HiFi snobs... they deserve those prices...

Yeah, but how do you prove it? There was a thread (one of many) on R.A.P.
discussing this and the point was made that while you can certainly make
cable that sounds DIFFERENT how can you know that it's actually more accurate?


An age old debate... with no end in sight!

There's 2 kinds of proof that matter: There's the kind that is shown
in double-blind tests where someone can ID which cable is which
when someone else is changing them w/o him seeing, and there is
the proof that comes from someone who knows what the recording
should sound like, and that only works when there is an objective
acoustic reference point. An orchestra, or acoustic jazz for instance.

Or third, using test equipment. For example, running test signals down
the cable, recording them with a highly accurate recorder, and comparing
the playback using test/analysis gear, and with phase cancellation, to
the original signal recorded on the same highly accurate recorder.

Complicated by the speaker level signals, but it seems doable.

Could work, but the test gear would likely introduce far more variables than
AA (audiophiles anonymous)
could accept without exploding into an obsessive compulsive fit.

I love the San Fran guy's comment about the cables being more danceable.....
rofl.
(hmm.... since when does an obsessed audiophile dance? The vibrations would
jar the turntable, which is of course vibration isolated from the building,
and even the earth and air itself, but why take a chance... ? ;-)).

Then again, I would probably be dancing around too - in disbelief that I
actually spend $7250 on a cable,
and hoping so badly that it made a difference that I convinced myself it did
just to avoid the sinking
feeling of wasting more money than my car was worth. ;-)

For sure better cables can really be better in some ways, but whether one
can hear a 145x improvement over a $50 cable...

These things are for rich guys who fill their lives buying expensive
baubles.

They should find a nice charity instead.

But then you need "perfect" speakers in an acoustically transparent environment,
neither of which any two testers could probably agree upon since neither
is really possible.

I think I recall reading somewhere that George Massenburg used high quality
(but not audio-fool) 12 gauge speaker cable.

I have two groundhogs in my back yard fattening up for the winter. I was just
about to name them Pointless and Extravagance.
