this is the cable that WAR audio in perth use (i believe)... they are the only manufacturer that make such a type and they sound better than anything else in existance apparently... Not that iv listened, but Pat has - and is qualified to know what he is talking about

very interesting looking at the crystal structure vs ofc.

So why are you wasting time here and not rushing off there to give it a spin?

You want us to get strokes from anticipation?

Cheers,

not that i have listened to everything else in exsistence!

I have listened to the WAR audio setup many times... its always changing.

Pat won an award at that big audio show you guys have in america in 2001... i forget the name.. for the most real sounding system.

I dont know how much of a factor the cables are, but the imagining is so good that you can watch the coin fall through the air and see it rolling in circles about half a metre wide on the floor on that muddy waters track

Its insane. Im building his reference ones' at the moment.

Malcolm Hawksford did an experiment long ago comparing the imaging of stereo near and far field, 3 channel, transaural and ambisonic methods to the real thing.

Quote from the findings: :... there was one person, with thirty years of high quality stereo experience, which consistently judged the phantom image better focused than the reference.."

So be careful with those unbelievably real sereo images

I can buy that. In fact, I have often experienced it.

No wonder it was judged better than the reference--hearing a coin fall thru the air??! --I conducted this experiment moments ago, imparting as much spin to a casino chip as possible, wanting to maximize Vd, and heard nothing! Of course there are those who claim to hear the fluttering of bat wings in the belfry.

I can tell you that a one oz gold coin makes a beautiful and loud ringing noise if you flip it hard with a lot of spin. Of course this is much larger than a normal coin. Can you see the mad gleam in my eye as I do this?

Call me nuts, but I just tried this with our Aussie coins ...10, 20, 50 cent silver coins and $1 and $2 gold coins. All are round except for the octagonal 50 cent coin.

No noise from the gold coins, very slight ringing from the 20 cent coin, but *very* audible ringing from the 10 cent and 50 cent coins.

Couldn't hear any bat wings in my belfry though ...just voices

I spent the lion share of my honeymoon in a cave in Belize and I most certainly heard bat wings!!

I was in Italy not long ago and the site of this organic swooping sundown phenomenon was amazing--almost Hitchcockian, but damn if I could hear them--emanate at something like 40k if I recall, maybe missing the harmonics from a more conjugal activity in Belizian cave with huge room gain?? O maybe there were bats. Josh would know. Silver OTC cables are for lunatics/audio junkies who need something new to hear something new,

Viva la bats!

Political commentary: By all mens got 10k for cabling spend it, on the other hand could feed a village wherever 3'rd world for a month, maybe two, but that would be enabling I reckon.

What are silver OTC cables? What does "OTC" stand for?
