    I would never let someone off ebay meet me for a 4 dollar item, to me that is suspicious as they will pay more in gas to pick it up than me ship.

    So it looks like this thread has gone down hill. But has any body paid for there cables and have received them yet. I bought a pair and sent the sell an email when I bought them asking if has more for sale and I haven't heard back.
    If life had more tubes it would be a lot smoother.

    Paid for, no cables yet, no replies either, not even a item has shipped or anything. Just a note in my PP receipt saying expect delivery between 7/30 and 8/10. That's it.

    That about what I have. I bought them 3 days ago and have sent him 2 emails asking if he has some more cables but no answer. I guess I will just pay tonight and hope for the best.

    I know it's a deceitful way to do it but pricing of $17 delivered ($3.99 + $12.99) makes a lot more sense for a pair of 1 meter cable with decent RCA terminations than $3.99 delivered which we all know is too cheap.

    Well, I was so looking forward to a review of these cables and how they compare to the "real" thing. I guess some deals are just too good to be true.

    In all honesty, why would you care? You have continously expressed cables don't make a difference so why bother and waste your time to read a review on something "you don't beleive in"?

    It really makes no logical sense because you critique us for buying these expensive cables, yet want to read a thread about it why? so you can come in and make jest of everything and cause trouble again?

    For someone that wants this place to be G rated, you do know how to push someone's buttons to get a response out of them in the forum and in regards to cables. If you don't like the topic, don't post on it, but deliberately coming into a thread and stating "your opinion" in a way that will cause a stir regardless of how it is put is not helping anyone, nor keeping in the G terms you request.

    Frankly if you want to be respected, I would highly suggest showing respect and looking at one's self with the 2X4 sticking out of your own eye before you have to critique the other man for the toothpick in his.

    William you are for the most part civil and and don't just crap up every single cable thread thread whether it is about how they sound or just a sale a guy found. That's makes you a non-troll and easier guy to respect.

    Chris, he is the quintessential troll as described. Contributes nothing to the threads except to incite and get good members to draw infractions.

    Wut.





    On another note, you have convinced me. I no longer hear a difference in cables and i will be selling my Scarlet Vipers, or even just trading for some Rat Shack cables. Next step, selling my amp, preamp, and CD Player for an integrated Sony component system from the early 90s to put some cash in my pocket and keep the same sound.

    I appreciate you opening my eyes for me.
