I, for one, don't believe he would simply design a cable and try and prey upon the gullibility of his customers to profit from their ignorance.
QuoteI, for one, don't believe he would simply design a cable and try and prey upon the gullibility of his customers to profit from their ignorance.Thanks Dayglow Thumbs up And you are correct, I would never prey on folks ignorance. I've already stated how hard they are to make as well as the material cost issue. Are they worth it all? Try 'em and see - or not. Makes no difference to me as I'm sure some will and they'll like them, despite the sceptics. Oh...and thanks for the knowledge base plug. Yeah, helping develop 40KW switching/tracking power supplies and their associated amplifiers really helps in the understanding of something as highly complex as speaker cables. I know, I know... that type of background can never really prepare one for such infinite mysteries, but it didn't hurt any. Rolling Eyes
I fail to grasp exactly how the inscrutable wisdom of the Orient advances your position one iota
As a little side note, the dealer in Japan that I'm building the first pairs for never asked a thing about specs, proof or whatever. He just wants to listen to them and if he likes them, he'll buy them. Whaddaya know...who would have ever thunk it could be so simple.

I have nothing against the fact that you designed some cables. Hundreds, if not thousands, have done likewise as the entry price is miniscule since so few cable cos. own production facilities, much less test equipment. Anyone with the "smarts" to locate an OEM & a few dollars capitalization can design & sell cables. They can all feel free to sell to their hearts content & laugh all the way to the bank. When they make specious claims in whitepapers, I then, & only then, take exception.
Come on, you can laugh! I know, I am still laughing! I will pop by every once in awhile for an audiophile comic interlude. I will try to keep the abuse to a minimum but when you see me take cover BOYS!Later for now!
