RE: A "Questionable Cables" posters response to unjust critcism

"how many of you silver cable DIY'rs can say they had a $20K cable rig in their system to compare to their $100 favorite wire?"

Well, as one of your "silver cable DIYr's" who recently posted a $700 recipe for silver foil speaker cables, I'll admit to having somewhat guiltily held for a time a $30K loom of commercial cables from one of several manufacturers of uber-expensive wire that Fremer compared in a cost-no-object review awhile back. My threshold moment with commercial cables was a couple of discussions at a show with the senior editor of a major audio magazine, who argued almost to the point of apoplexy that high-priced commercial cables are the biggest scam in audio, and have almost single-handedly brought down the audio hobby. That's an extreme position, but it turned my head and I'm not looking back. To each his own.

The moderators feel that allowing this thread to continue, even though it may hold useful information, will wind up creating more trouble than it solves, and thereby detract from the purpose of this forum.

This is not the appropriate venue for discussion of this matter, and we ask that those with an interest in the subject, take it elsewhere (e.g. private e-mail).

No further follow-ups will be considered.

Thank you for your support of the Asylum.
