You mentioned a conversation with someone who implied cables don't make a difference, and as a result of the conversation you mention selling your cables.My question is - Did you not know you wanted to sell the cables before the guy told you?Maybe I misread your OP.
I find that the larger the font in a post, the less impact it makes. Like using all caps, it's a form of shouting. Steve
Roger himself said in an e-mail to me................................quote "because of the emotional nature of the speaker wire, interconnect, mains cable debate, he didn't think people would care for his views".............unquote
I don't think that's been proven to be true... nobody had gotten upset or emotional, except maybe you judging from your font size
I use a large font because I'm aware of my own vision limitations and I assumed there might be other others in these circles who would appreciate the larger font.
If we forget the pseudoscience for a minute and just think about electronics in general, I think many old timers here can agree with this statement, that most of the time we have trouble with speaker cables or interconnects is with the mechanical connection itself.............. the majority of what is perceived as an electrical problem, is a mechanical problem.Look at the back of your system. RCA cables that merely "push on or off" doesn't sound like a good connection to me. A screw on "F" connector does. It's not going to fall off.Speaker cables can terminate in many ways, from bare wire in a 5-way binding posts, to bananas, forks, pins or what ever. They all loosen up or a film collects on the surfaces, impeding minute signals from passing, unaltered. Then use De-oxit 5 to keep the connections clean. I recently did my quarterly De-oxit 5 cleaning and the sound is 3D for sure. So my point is, there is another side to this wire debate, and that is good housekeeping......Wayner
It would be better if you type in the standard size font, then use the zoom function on your web browser to increase the font size for viewing. This way all of the posts will be easier to read, not just your own. Also you are apparently using the Return key after each sentence, instead of just letting the text wrap and using the Return key between paragraphs. I like to view with my browser set at 125% zoom, and because of the return after each line, every other line has only two or three words on it (unless I view at 100%). Steve
I think that Fred used some other text editing program for his posts, rather than the Quick Reply box. Then the forum firmware took over and sized his post.
Fred,I'm not sure that I read your post correctly.Are you saying that you prefer the 4TC over the 8TC or do I have that backwards?
The fact tone controls disappeared about the same time as the rise of aftermarket interconnects is not a coincidence. It was a PLOT, an evil evil plot.IF you have tone controls, what need of wierd interconnects. Without tone controls, then you need special interconnects to fine tune your setup.A conspiracy.
