Must read review of $14,000 speaker cables

Re: Must read review of $14,000 speaker cables

I like this one

These cables are worth at least twice the price, $13,000 is an absolute STEAL. I have paid more for Asian school girl escorts in Vegas and received less pleasure than these cables can provide. When not using on your audio system you can tie up an excellent cock ring with ball harness to share the pleasure with others that these cables provide.

Oh, must have this cat700 for my aes50, and it's only $6.400 for 500ft. It's a bargain!

All of AudioQuest's bulk and prepared Ethernet cables use solid conductors, which completely eliminate strand interaction, the single biggest cause of distortion in cables, for clearer, more dynamic and involving sound. Superior conductor metals minimize distortion by having fewer grain boundaries and less impurities (such as oxides) at those boundaries. Solid High-Density Polyethylene (PE) insulation helps maintain critical signal-pair geometry. Of course all AudioQuest Ethernet cables honor the directionality inherent in all analog and digital audio cables; arrows on the jackets indicate the direction (from source to destination) for the best audio performance.

I can't stop reading this high-tech stuff! I need to upgrade my x32 with high-quality stuff so that I can enjouy true-audio(tm).

I've now come to realize that phantom power should go to the insulation as well as the mic but the voltage seems to be on the low side so we should increase it to at least 72v!

Dielectric-Bias System

Greatly improved performance is made possible by a constant 72V charge on the insulation used in WEL Signature products. DBS puts a continuous DC voltage potential (DC bias) between a DBS-only conductor in the cable's center and an outer shield-like conductor. This keeps a cable's insulation fully polarized all the time, something no level of signal can come close to accomplishing.


The result is considerably more transparency and dynamics than possible even from a cable in continuous use, with equipment that is never turned off. Because DBS battery packs are attached when the cables are assembled, they do not require an additional run-in period. Because there is no "load" on the batteries, they will last for years. A test button and LED allow for occasional verification of battery charge.

Re: Must read review of $14,000 speaker cables

And people are buying this?! This is from a serious review by something called 'soundstage'.....

Only the very expensive Siltech Signature cables ($4300-$9000 per meter pair of interconnects, $11,300-$26,750 per eight-foot pair of speaker cables) that I reviewed last year equaled Volcano and Sky in terms of overall sonic acuity. If I could choose either (and not have to pay for them!), I would pick Siltech Signature interconnects and speaker cables because of their overwhelming naturalness and completeness. But both cable sets are the sort of products I wish I didn't have to review so I could maximize my time simply listening to music with them.

So how many did you order?

A fool and his money are soon parted-and some people are willing to go to more extremes to "help them along"-----------------
 
Re: Must read review of $14,000 speaker cables

But it is all true, by spending $50.000 on cables you can actually make a $10.000 sound system sound like a $11.000 sound system. Sounds like a good investment if my maths are right (and the cables being replaced is worn out $5 jobs) :D~:-D~:grin:

Audiophools are a kooky bunch. Just go into any audiophool store and wow.





Wow



lolol
 
Re: Must read review of $14,000 speaker cables

There is always some wiggle room with analogue cables.. but I think it's far beyond the point of diminishing returns.

But digital on the other hand.. well, either the 1's and 0's get to the other end in the correct order and at the correct time or they don't. This can be measured with certainty. So... if the cables deliver "clearer, more dynamic...." that must mean they are altering the 1's and 0's on the way through. So uuuuhhhhhh, just how does the cable know which 1's and 0's to alter ?

Note how none of these audiophool are ever backed up with meaningful scientific measurements. The only reason why any audiophool products ever seem to have any benefit is that the equipment is badly designed in the first place.

There is no reason to measure it. The people who can hear the difference have "better ears" than any measurement device-just ask them.

But DON'T ask them to do a blind test-they won't.

Then if the difference is "great" then how come you can't easily pick it out????????????????????????????? Just wondering-------------------

What I don't get is this

Amazon.com: AudioQuest NRG Wild 6 ft Power cable: Electronics

$3.500 for a 6ft power cable! How huge difference do they think that this short cable will do compared to the wires in the building or even the electrical network in general :-0

I read somewhere an "explanation" of why the last 6 feet would make a difference. It did not make any sense to me-because they did not understand the basic "premise" of what a power supply does and DOES NOT do..

But it made sense to them-and that was all that matters-AS LONG AS the power company does not switch the power grid-because then all sorts of things can go crazy-or so they say---------------------------
 
Re: Must read review of $14,000 speaker cables

It is fair to analogize that series electrical paths are like a chain where a single weak link can indeed compromise the strength of the entire chain. What is not fair is to suggest that OEM line cords or speaker wires are marginal so that significant improvement is available from investing in an expensive upgrade,

While this is fun and good sport if you want something to worry about, these people vote, and on a personal level any audio puke buying audio wire for $14 grand must make a lot more money than I(we) do. :-(

Re: Must read review of $14,000 speaker cables

Nobody is asking that price for the cable. The Amazon pricing algorithm pukes out prices like that. You get the same thing for undistinguished out-of-print books and such. Something related to supply and demand but perverted through some kind of computer program gone rogue.....

For sure they are not in the audio business-but they feel they know more than we do--------------------------------------------
