    Hey Joseph,

    Good read on the forum. You'll do fine here! You have to be able to absorb the hits and counterpunch. Bravo!

    Interspersed between the bobt posts and the seafire posts are some of the craziest posts I've ever read.... Everybody should go back and read some of these gems from joseph.v.chen! I think everyone was so wrapped up in the seafire saga that hardly anyone even commented on these chen posts. He's clearly on a higher plane!

    What I'd really like to see here is some mathematical proof of the superiority of certain cables/spearker wires. How about it joseph.v.chen?:confused:

    P.S. You rock, dude!:)

    P.S.S. seafire - You're a pretty intriguing individual yourself. I'm glad you inserted yourself into this fray.;)

    What we have is a Tautology (rhetoric), repetition of meaning, using different words to say the same thing twice, especially where the additional words fail to provide additional clarity ....(description taken from wikipedia)

    I just bought 700 Oral-B rectal thermometers from K-Mart, broke them open and drained the mercury into a rubber hose, jammed some bananas into ends and replaced my old Cat 5 super cables. I can't tell if it's the brain damage or the new OralBrect's, but man do my SDA's sound hot!

    just my own thought ...

    at first i was swimming in this idea of a good quality speaker wire .... but then it hit me ..... what would be the point of using grade A speaker wires from amp to speaker terminal when i wont upgrade the speaker wires used INSIDE the speaker ......

    go ahead and use the best speaker wire you can afford only if i upgraded the wires inside the speakers.... so i told myself....

    i love generic #16 wires from then on :D
