He really is a seamonkey! :eek:

1st time I saw that...that was a good one!

WTF!?!?

I didn't think I'd ever see this thread again...I hoped anyway...

i came across a site the other day that had some dayton 13/4 wire i think it was, and it was really decent pricing and black casing! any thought's on that wire and anyone know where i may find some seeing as my dumb@ss forgot to bookmark the site and google is being useless to me ATM

Cheer's!

Wow, I tried reading this thread and let's just say I learned all I needed to know in the first few pages, lol. While there are people who don't believe in speaker wire making a difference, there are some of us who do. I for one am a believer. I had an old Onkyo HTIB that was good enough for me at the time before I upgraded to what I have now. Included in that HTIB was some crappy fishing wire thin speaker wire. I had no idea what I was missing until I upgraded to some 14AWG speaker wire I bought at Best Buy. The difference was night and day on those little Onkyo speakers, and I can only imagine what my current Polk speakers would sound like with some "real" speaker wire. I only wish I still had that speaker wire to try on my Polk's, lol. Like has been stated many times over in this thread, if you don't believe then fine, that is your opinion. You aren't going to change my mind when I have experienced first hand what a difference "quality" speaker wire can make. Not trying to stir the pot, just offering my $.02.

Well, at least we had 2 months and 2 days off

Personally, I'm all for free speech, but too many F-Bombs. Some of us like to read the Forum while at work on our breaks. When using company resources, ie the internet, there is no 'presumption' of privacy.
Secondly, if you wouldn't say something to someone else in person, then you probably shouldn't type it up and send it to someone via an email or forum.

If anyone else agrees, please chime in....

Personally, I drop the F-bomb at least 2-4 times every hour in real life. It doesn't really bother me...in the slightest bit.

On one hand, it would be nice to have intelligent, civil discourse on the forum, but that would require a quantum increase in IQ, and manners, of some members. And that is not going to happen.

Yawwwwwn :d

any thought's on these? http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=100-484

Cable make a difference. NOT a myth. Recented updated my cables. 6cv, 8TC, Garden size speaker cable. What make the bigget difference is interconnect. Most important about interconnect is the first contact point. The terminal head must be heavy with plenty of pure copper head or silver head. You will enjoy music again.

I used to be a skeptic myself, a proudly proclaimed audio atheist...until I tried different interconnect cables for myself.

I swapped in some higher grade ICs and the first words out of my mouth were..."No way".

I still remain a skeptic, but I keep an open mind and my ears open - I try for myself and I trust my own ears. If I hear a difference and I like it as an improvement - I integrate into my own system.

Exactly! That's what it's about. Trying things for yourself, and forming your own opinion about it. Reading an article by Roger Russel and considering yourself an expert on the topic isn't quite the same as actually trying things FOR YOURSELF in YOUR home on YOUR rig.

I'm skeptical about a lot of different things in the audio hobby myself. I used to be a skeptic regarding cables...until I actually tried it for myself and heard a difference. I'm still skeptical about things like cable lifters and CD treatments etc...But I'm not going to call it snake oil. I've never tried it, so I can't really say whether or not it works.

We're still waiting for evidence of the seamonkey line of fantasy speakers. :rolleyes:

How the F*ck is he still even here?

This thread is like crack cocaine.

Seems no matter how hard we try, and to our detriment, none of us can leave it alone. (me included)

We're closing in on 1,800 posts with perhaps 1 in 100 of them adding anything to the knowledge base. :eek:

anyone want to stay on topic and give a thought about those dayton cable's?

The Club's opinions are great and there is a lot of experience here, but in the end, it's only YOUR opinion that matters. And what I deem "great sounding cables" in my particular system may not do much for yours.

I bought, listened to, and sold all the way up to as much as I could afford, keeping the 2 most recent acquisitions on hand so I could A/B compare until I settled on my current setup.

Try the Dayton cable, it's decent and will resell well if/when you want to try more. Most of the time you will find higher pricing really does improve the listening experience.
