Spearker cables..fact or fiction?

My post said nothing about cables, just his claim that AVS members backed out of a challenge, which is just a lie.
Would you like to bet on a football game? Any game, I don't care. If I win, you pay me $10,000, if you win, I'll give you nothing. What do you say? -

Second, I took the liberty of adding paragraph & phrase breaks in my quote to aid in making your post legible.
I was attacked and mocked by these vultures once for my belief and my experiment. Reading some of the posts, I recognize " they are here" . I am not defensive but rarther anger. BTW, tks for your assistance with my writing. ESL 101 is pretty hard for immigrations. -
Is it fair that a cave who will have ZERO chance to identify the three cables asking for 10K ?
Not at all, as long as you offer up the same amount if you can't.I did not take any advance stastistic classes with my BBA when I was a youngster, but I know the answer.
Apparently you didn't take any english classes either. -

The difference is there will be a winning team and there will be a loosing team. I did not claim there is ZERO diffrence among cables , didn't I. Some idiotic vultures did, didn' they? Maybe I lie too. I was called a fraud, wasn't I? They wanted me to prove that they ware wrong, I gave them a challange for 2 weeks, either their balls are smaller than their mouths or they are a bunch of vultures within a small cage of their data and tesing. Also, how about the dude who probably never saw or heard the Martin Logan SL3 and the Appogee Duetta but he claimed the Carver TFM 25 will driver the SL3 and the Duetta as good as the Krell KVA 250 and again, his science's measurement told him that amp is just an amp then when I challenged this idiot, he the changed his tone and claimed the Carver is class H and the Krell is class A. AV science my **** ! I am a caveman but at least I did not misguide anyone with my idiotic and narrow frame of mind? Come on. bring your clouds over here. I am ready.

Great, I'm sure practice will make perfect.
Now, for my 2 cents worth, name calling and attacking won't help your case. I'd personally tone it down a bit.
It sounds like you have some good experience to share. I'd love to see it expressed in a non-hostile manner as I have learned a lot in this forum from those who respect, work, and play well with others.VTL ST50 w/mods / RCA6L6GC / TlfnknECC801S

Well, I would respect my neighbour as much as he or she would respect me. Love thy neighbour, yes I do. When someone stated he/she can hear the difference among certain cablings or among amps, my response will be it's good for him/her and I wish he/she the best in finding what makes he/she a happy listener. I would not called he/she a FRAUD a LIAR before I have a valid proof. These vultures one after another one mocked, humiliated and litterally chased me as a guest out of their forum just because my belief and my experience not conforming with their "Science" square box of mind.

So, over at the AVS forum.....have the found out that they can make a sonic change or are they the "non-believer" type?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

I know what you mean. Cable "overkill" will simply expose the next weakest link in the chain and you'll end up in the market for a new set of speakers, amp or source component. It sounds like you have some nice wires and cables.VTL ST50 w/mods / RCA6L6GC / TlfnknECC801S

Well, these "scientists" humiliated me and also threatened a physical fight to another poster since we believe we can hear the difference in cablings, namely ICs. They believe that all cablings are recreated equally. My biggest issue is they claimed the all amps are created equally and the Carver TFM25 and the Krell KVa 250 will drive the Appogee Duetta and the Martin SL3 equally. I happened to own both amps and the SL3 ( my firend owns the Appogee) and we believe otherwise based on our own ears and our own equipments not the spec and data from the Net. I doubt any of these guys ever heard or owned the listed above equipments. -
Mental note to self - Never go to that forum.

That right there is exactly why i don't frequent that forum.
If i went over there and said that i preferred my Oinker amp to say... an Adcom GFA-545 or even an Emotiva XPA-2 in my rig, god knows what the response would be.I don't read the newsssspaperssss because dey aaaallllllllll...... have ugly print.

I firmly believe this. I have ran into this myself. I have used all above cables and found the same thing. Your system only sounds as good as it does. you can't keep buying "better" wire and think it will improve. It is what it is.
Just like any other part of your system, it's only as good as it's weakest link. Once you achieve it's max abilities , you can't make it any better.
I'm a member in the AVS forum as well as a few others. I see where there wire debates go. I choose not to be apart of it. Another forum has a cable company as a owner as well. They don't allow cable threads unless it's about there cables, then it's ok.
Here you can talk about cables all you want. There are people on both sides of the fence and will argue to there blue in the face there point. I find this interesting. years ago I would stop at nothing to justify high end cables and how they improve my system and anyone else who planned on using them. Today I find what works well and go with that. yeah I get caught up when a beautiful pair come in front of me but hey I love wire .
Most brands out there make good quality cables for all your needs. Finding the ones right for your system is difficult. Really comes to madness. Unless you have a unlimited supply like I have over the years, it's really hard to wrap the idea of a cable making a sonic improvement in ones system. Analog is the most noticeable and really in my opinion the only noticeable cables out there.
My opinions , your opinions , they are all good and solid depending on your system and your ears. No reason to say it's right one way or another. The only right and wrong here is using the correct type of cable designed for the job you want it to do. Other factors come into play but they are the most important.Dan

Well, it all boils down to one thing that I believe over the years, If a person does not hear any difference among different cables, then it is good for that person. Be happy with what that he or she has. Be it a Monoprice or Monster or Home depot products, who cares? As long as one is happy with what they hear then let it be. At the same token, I can hear the differences among the difference brand-name cables then no one should tell me that I am not allowed to hear what I hear and if I do not conform with the skepitcal norm then I will be a FRAUD or a LIAR. I consider it a form of public slander and an ignorance accusation. Maybe ,I among other thousand of audiophiles are a bunch of idiots as I was told but no one can force me to believe that all cables sound the same or all amps sound alike. -

In order for slander (or libel) to exist, you need to prove that the written or spoken comments of others actually caused you some real harm. Have the comments of any anonymous naysayer(s) on any Internet forum actually caused you any REAL harm or loss or damage to your reputation? Do you enjoy your music and gear any less because someone else does not believe that you hear what you say you hear?
Rejoice in the fact that you don't need a piece of audio gear to be designed by a team of Nobel laureates and National Academy of Engineering fellows, then rigorously tested by NASA and the test results published in a peer-reviewed science or engineering journal for you to enjoy it.:)Proud and loyal citizen of the Digital Domain and Solid State Country! -
