WOW.....ok ok ok...

wire *DOES* make a difference......

a....
big....

DIFFERENCE.....

The highs are MUCH cleaner, and have almost no hiss to them, the mids are also cleaner, more dynamic and vibrant, the bass is punchier, louder, etc.....overall, awesome wire!

Thank you again Sean and mark!! I am digging this!! HECK YEAH! lol!

    Mx,

    Which IXOS wire did you get? 6003, 6007, or the Super Gamma 7 biwire?

    Cool that you are digging the sound too.

    Vr3MxStyler2k3,
    I remember you saying that Home Depot wire was great,no need to spend any money on wire.Now you try something else and hear a difference.....I only asked a question, not start a flame war.

    RuSsMaN,
    2 words **** YOU.My house is my bussiness.

    Frank Z,
    Crawl back in the **** hole you crawled out of.Keep your comments to yourself.Nobody asked you.

    Gee dannie,
    I had a laugh over the comments, didn't really care who they were addressed to, seems you bring out the best in people though.

    I don't recall adressing any comments to you since this thread:
    http://clubpolk.polkaudio.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11451

    I guess you finally recovered from that B**** Slap to your over-inflated noggin to come back for more!

    If I show you the door.....

    Will you leave?

    Geez... sort of seems to be all PMSsy around here today. Even Eduardo the Panamanian tweter-hunter got seriously dissed. I know if I was hooked on Panamanian speakers and tried to post on their forum I'd probably end up saying "el tweetero."

    Mars gets closer than it has in thousands of years and a bunch of the Polkaholics go on the rag at the same time. Go figure.

    Sid.. nice you're enjoying the wire. That said, you do get *reeeeeally* excited and hooked on whatever the latest thing is that you happened to hear or get... e.g. piece-o-**** boom box "sub"... You could maybe notice that and learn from it.

    Now Russ... Russ Russ Russ... baiting like that?? So.. "here I sit my buns a flexin', givin' birth to another Texan."


    I honestly didn't know you lost your/a job... maybe that was a long time ago before I was paying attention?? Sorry to hear.

    Well dannie,
    You need to re-read this thread again, maybe you wil be able to figure out why I responded to your post.

    Reading your gibberish has been quite amusing. I must admitt that I am rather perplexed at your sudden flame-fest, after all you bring it on yourself with your Holier than Thou, angst laden, self-rightous, arrogant poorly spelled, misspoken, improperly worded, back alley gutter-mouth attitude. Not that anyone notices anymore, they are all used to it I suppose.

    BTW, You'd probably get your little bungalow a lot faster if you moved some more of your employers cables and what not, just keep the coin, it's not like you do it in public...on the WWW....or anything like that.

    Hope that there aren't to many multiple syllable words in this post for you to trip over.

    Have a nice evening.

    Ahhhhh, but you miss the point grasshopper. It's PERFECTLY OK for Dan to go for the jugular, fill your email box with obscenity laced tripe and IM you (unsolicited) because AFTER his temper tantrum is over, well, it's over. Once Dan has said it's over and it's in the past, well, it never really happened. He certainly can't be held responsible for HIS outbursts, can he? I mean, it's all OUR fault.

    Anyone know how to get a sample of this highly raved wire?? All I'm looking for is about a half foot just to check this stuff out, if you have a chunk laying around I'd love to see it.

    WL - I demo'd some of that wire he is actually using, and it was just plain wire to my ears. Trey has noticed something more since his system is perhaps 180 degrees from mine. That's great for Trey, and great for me....he's happy :)

    Aren't they relatively cheap? As in, not much more expensive than HD wire. :confused: I'm sure they're better then HD stuff and they look cool.

    They are........60 or 70 cent a foot. 12 AWG HD is 33 cents a foot, 16 awg is 9 dollars for 50 feet. IXOS is MUCH better than HD.....

    In your opinion ONLY! Not slammin ya, just keep in mind that you are talking about what you hear, not that your wrong, but you know as well as everyone here knows...not everyone believes that "High-End" wire makes any difference at all.

    If you think it sounds better to you... cool.
