Spearker cables..fact or fiction?

You keep saying that wire construction doesn't make any difference, but you just contradicted yourself.

Yeah, you don't have to spend a grand for a good sounding pair of speaker cables, but most here buy their's used anyway. I had a pair of PS Audio Extreme Statements that MSRP'd for like a $1100, I paid a qtr of that for them in perfect shape. They are extremely thick and sounded much better than the RS 10 gauge I had, but not really any better than the Tara Labs RSC Prime Bi-wires that have been terminated into singles that I still use today that I got for $100 iirc. They're not as purty, but the sound is great. I also have a set of Signal Ultras that I throw in the mix every now and again to test the differences. While they are a fine cable, especially dollar to dollar value, they don't have the low end that the Taras bring to the game.

Lol you say I contradict myself but read your own post back..PS AUdio's better than rs 10 gauge but not really any better than the tara labs rsc prime bi wires;)read all my posts I said you get to a level where the diff is so small that it becomes a waste of time..exactly what you said.Why do I want to spend 1000$ on cable when I can come pretty close and in some cases kick butt with a cheaper alternative.I live outside the USA prime cable like that is hard to find second hand and never at a quarter of the price!;)

Why is anyone even paying attention to him, his intension is more than obvious.

This is a little off the subject but so are other peoples posts.This thread reminds me off two interesting scenarios in my life.As a retired professional sports person I used to travel the world extensively.I lived in the USA for some time as well and brought with me a set of German car audio speakers nl.MB QUART.I was met with ridicule from most Americans who had never heard of it and would fight me to the death about Jenson Rockford Fostgate Polk audio etc.Not to suck up but the only speakers that sounded remotely decent happened to be Polk.Anyway fast forward 2 years and when I return to the States MB QUART is killing everything in it's path in terms of car audio Blaaaa blaaa the sheep mode was around at that time as well!. (Story2) I had only used American amps in my cars Soundstream Earthquake Rockford etc.One Sunday morning a close friend arrives and asked me to help him install x2 Pioneer amps into his car.I told him that we are wasting our time with this "**** crap".And low and behold when we fired those to babies up...amazingly warm and detailed music flowed from his car to a level I had never heard before.These amps turned out to be strongly biased into classA.Yes they gave off oodles of heat and ran your battery dry in minutes but they went on to win reference awards in Germany France Sweden and the USA.Blaaaaa Blaaaaa I had fallen victim to the sheep syndrome:o
So please read the encrypted message in this post!!!:cool:

You just made everyones point there...thanks. The point is...that yes, you might be able to come close with cheaper alternatives, but some people are looking for that extra edge. Close isn't good enough for everyone. How is it a waste of time if there is an improvement?

Also, you don't have to spend 1000 dollars to get good cables. Most people that experiment with cabling buy used cables...you don't have to spend anywhere near 1000 dollars to get a quality cable. You keep saying that...and people keep telling you otherwise, yet you keep referring to it as a valid point. It's not. Sure, you can easily spend upwards of 1000 dollars on cables...if you buy new. Those some 1000 dollar cables go for around 300 dollars used generally. This is how most people buy them.


You really need to stop saying "baaa baaa". It's really getting annoying. How does making your own decision based on your own personal experiences make you a sheep? It doesn't.

Ok good point.Please remember what I said earlier...we dont all live in he USA and that type of cable at those prices...nearly impossible.Remember that some folks that buy this cable can't here past 15k or even less.Yes sure there are some that hear it all but they are defiantly the minority

Hell, I can hear a dog whistle and that annoying high pitched sound that CRT tvs emit. But I had to have perfect hearing for my Air Force job. You're on the damn internet, ever heard of Ebay or Audiogon or even our CP Flea Market?

SO be a little more specific.Who and what is ?

I had my hearing checked less than a year ago after I had a staph infection that had entered into my ear canal from my mouth. Results were above normal.

Thanks for your interest in my hearing health.

I can still hear a dog whistle, can you?

I think seamonkey is an embarrassment to himself. And I find it amusing watching him dig himself deeper.

YOU are nothing short of a moron.Scroll back on your posts...you ride on other peoples opinions because you don't have your own.Your contribution is only one thing insults.I will call Polk Audio today and ask them to review this thread and decide...because as far as I am concerned I will rip all the Polk stuff out and throw it in the trash can before supporting oxygen thieves like you on there site.And believe me I can afford too:mad:

Make sure to put it all up for sale in our Flea Market.:rolleyes: Or since you can afford it, give it all to me.

I own some Polk audio gear that drives my HT.But the level of integrity on this forum has me very frustrated....I dont mind intelligent questioning but responses like that of Keiko and kie I find hard to digest.I may be out off line sometimes but I really do try and contribute unlike others who's thread replies I have checked from the beginning ...one rude insult after the other

Blow it out your hind end. You know exactly what you are doing. You just joined, and most of your almost 200 posts are here in a cable thread:rolleyes: Guys he is just playing with you. Ignore the instigator. I wouldn't be surprised if he was bait for some red letters, or a blast from the past visiting from another IP. Again ignore him, and he will go away.
Cheers
