Home Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Irresponsibly wrong.

Howdy

Why do people spread such rumors about Jon (or others). I consider it irresponsible.

Jon doesn't sell cables, work for a company that sells cables or recommend expensive cables, read his posts and his site more carefully, he just recommends that people consider cables better than stock, gives some motivational arguments and makes some suggestions about how to build some.

I don't agree with all of his recommendations, but I don't agree with all of what any particular person says. I don't see him as setting himself up as a cable guru; I see him as sharing the experience he's gained in his life with others. Take it or leave it.

The cable that is inside the equipment is in a different environment that the cable that's outside. In so far as shielding is important in power cables this matters.

As to my cables, I know what cable is in my equipment do you? I also know what people think when they hear my system and I know that I enjoy it too. What do you care about how I spend my money? I don't tell you how to spend yours and neither does Jon.

Besides the links at the top of Jon's original post he was just pointing out that the 'miles and miles of wire vs. the last 6 ft.' is a fallacy. You are the one trying to read something else into it.

I was just pointing out that some of us (probably not most) don't have time for charging batteries. We could of course charge enough different sets of batteries while we are playing that when the ones we are using run low we have others to swap in, but I know that I'd pay more for than I pay for power cords to not have this inconvenience. I am home most all of the time and what work I do I do to music at home. I'm just pointing out that there isn't any down time in some people's system. I never claimed to be normal :) Yes there are some systems that are DC powered, but so far their prices are out of sight or have other inconveniences, etc.

Anyway your AC/DC arguments are red herrings, we all have equipment that requires good AC and whether it matters to you or not, it matters to some of us what power cords we use.
