Spearker cables..fact or fiction?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

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.

Not to start any sort of debate, but I too "drop the F-bomb" quite alot....comes with having been in the military

As for seeing/reading this stuff online, keep in mind this is the internet and such content found on here or anywhere else is always subject to change...for the better and for the worse. I just hope kids aren't seeing this, but if they don't see it here they'll surely see/hear it elsewhere on the internet or elsewhere at home. :rolleyes:

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.

Guilty as charged Your Honor. No decorum on the forum and peeing on every shrub that needs it.
So there!

thank's Keiko

everybody and their gramma reccomend the canare, personally i really don't like the grey casing i really like the look of the dayton cuz it's black anyone ever tried the dayton stuff?

I suspect Bobt has tried maybe three cables purchased from CC, Best Buy and RatShack to reach his conclusions. Anecdotal evidence is not evidence to the fact.

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

He's too busy developing the latest in cutting edge loudspeaker technology, to take the time to prove it to us.:rolleyes:;)

as much as everyone here thinks i'm a nuisance, this forum has rubbed off on me. i just ordered some knuconcepts power wire and a battery terminal for my new car system i'd share my thoughts on this new gear once i get it installed, but i don't think anyone would really care all that much.

I don't under stand the price for speaker cables....some cost more then the equipment there hookup to....The price is insane. The Stereophile mags review these....of course there not going to say anything bad about them..they get paid to do this...then sit there and try to tell you....oh yes we hear this one gives you more highs, or this one is more clear.....BULL...

Sorry..it's a piece of wire...when you get to a certain point...thats about it.

I have a 12 gauge speaker cable, I will not say which kind. I went and spent $250 (on sale)...some supposed great cable......NO DAM DIFFERENCE.

No way you could tell the difference between the 2. Now OK...."MAYBE" if your playing some violin thing........MAYBE you could hear something different, but my guess would be NOT. If I changed cables on these "reviewers"...they would not have a clue............

OK, I play mostly rock and blues, but do throw in some classic music.

If Stravinsky, or Tchaikovsky..sound the same to me, over different cables..well I get the fact.....basically you have just been riiped off, because it's called "audiophile"....and no I'm not tone deaf...I've mixed CD's for people , run PA mixers...I know what good sound is.

It's like Boats...if it's marine..you pay a ton....same crap you can buy for cheap...Audiophile.....the price goes up.....

Most of this "sound" is precived..just because you spent..300 plus on a cable.

You won't hear staggering differences in speaker cable unless the rest of the system's wire is in top form. The most important cable that does make huge differences to any ear is the source to preamp I/C. You are not even close to having your system right enough to even think of hearing comparisons in a good way. Until you actually have lived with higher echelon wire sets, meaning all of the interconnects and speaker wire your opinion is meaningless to others who do have their systems at a higher state.<br>
<br>
I'm not trying to bash you, just open your eyes a bit to the fact that you are a bit short on having a vast exposure to what's out there. I have had at least half a million dollars worth of just about every manufacturer's lines from entry to ultimate along with high end electronics to try it on. I figure I'm not wasting my time if you have an open enough mind to accept that you may be missing something if your system isn't allowing you to hear differences. The first rule of speaker wire is to upgrade interconnects first of the speaker wire can't make as much difference because the best audiophile characteristics haven't even gotten through to the amp let alone the speakers.<br>
<br>
Again, no offense meant but you have a ways to go and you will never get there if you can't figure out the cable basics. cable is the key element to pure audiophile sound, without good wire your money is wasted on high end components and speakers. If I lived close to you I could show it to you in your system, I made a living doing that in everything out to $150k+ systems, it is always about the wire no matter what equipment you have.

I am using Dayton Audio from Parts Express. It is 14ga Hi-Def OFC rope layer design. I am using them bi-wired to my RTiA9's. At aprox . 47 cents a foot I could tell a BIG difference. The sound really opened up. Even my wife could tell the difference and she's quite happy with the stereo in her cavilier!!!
