 Interesting read,

I find that for brighter systems or for powercords with silver,platinum or palladium conductors I prefer the 079. I prefer the 004 with smoother sounding power cords that use OFC copper,gold or even OCC copper as they all have a smooth tonal quality.

It's all about component matching with cables and connectors.

 Hello all,

I have read this thread from one end to the other, and what I see is a charlatan screwing over a customer, and deriding a friend of mine who I assure you is a standup guy. Chris Kline (Cpk) eats and breathes his little corner of audio, and he never stooped so low as to misrepresent what he does. Call him, if you don't believe it. Then, you will get a firsthand feel of who he is and what he is all about. When someone accuses him of being a copycat, I get pissed. If you guys only knew how much time he spends making sure everything he does is exact, you would be amazed. A copycat would never spend months listening to the effects of solder in his product's construction, but Chris has. That's just the beginning because he is never finished with R&D intended to produce the best sound Tel-Wire can possibly muster.

Anything whatshisname-this-week says should be carefully construed because he isn't even a distant cousin of the audio family, let alone a standup guy, as far as I'm concerned. The way it appears to me, he is around only to prey on honest and unsuspecting buyers.

Best,
Win

 Well well Mosin,

It's great you felt the need to step up to speak on behalf of your Friend Chris Kline(CPK)...I once thought CPK was a great guy until these threads.

You see this whole thread is nothing more than a conspiricy...first of all the problem was with me and Rudy,then CPK joined in with real conviction and even Sherod had a bit of input.

For the life of me I couldn't understand why CPK would have so much intrest in my business and why he seemingly had a grudge with me over Rudy. I did a little research and found that Rudy and CPK are friends who were distant neighbors in PA...that exlained it all.

I wondered why Sherod posted what he did...so I did a little more research and found out Sherod is in cahoots with CPK as he is one of CPK's friends/customers.

Friends will do anything for friends including lie... and in this case CPK cosigned with his friend Rudys lies in an attempt to make his buddy Rudy seem more credible..and you are cosigning for CPK in an attempt to do the same thing.

After all of this meyhem I learned a lot about Rudy,CPK and Sherod...I know CPK and Rudy will deny being friends...but after all of this, it's no coincidence that CPK and Rudy both lived in PA and happen to be the two biggest posters in these threads.

I have posted significant visual proof that rudy has lied on multiple occasions and even of him harrassing me via phone...I have also posted visual proof of Tracking receipts that proved on both occasions that the packages I shipped to Rudy were delivered...CAN RUDY PROVE HE DIDN'T GET THE CABLES OR REFUND????

Mosin, you state you read this entire thread from one end to another and if you truly did you would have seen the various posts of mine where I actually proved Rudy as a liar so I can't figure out for the life of me,according to you... how I'm preying on honest and unexpecting buyers...if you really read this entire thread there is no way you could think Rudy is honest.

Not many members have really posted to these threads...and the few who have posted all happen to be friends...this whole thread is a biased conspiricy.

Tel Wire(CPK) is based in PA and Rudy recently moved from PA...you are CPK's friend and Sherod is a customer/friend of CPK...all of you had something negative to say about me...what a coincidence.

NOBODY WHO IS NOT CONNECTED TO RUDY OR CPK HAS POSTED TO THESE THREADS...SO EVERYTHING ANY OF YOU ALL HAVE TO SAY SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH A GRAIN OF SALT.

 Ernie,
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean everyone's out to get you. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop your speculating by using my name in a negative manner. That's how false rumors start. Please tell me anywhere that I said anything "bad" about you. I insinuated that you were a "smooth operator", but how is that a bad thing?

 Initially, I thought Rudy was trying to take advantage of you. I never did understand why a businessman would send cash but I gave you the benefit of the doubt. You then posted that you have a voice message, from Rudy, admitting to getting the cables and the money. I offered to listen to the message and report what I heard. You never contacted me to listen to it. I can only assume you don't have such proof which would make you the liar.

As I said earlier, I don't have a horse in the race. If you have the proof, play the message for me or other members of this forum. That message would be black and white proof you are telling the truth. You need to put up or shut up. I can't imagine you've done anything but damage your reputation and lost future sales by the way you have responded. I know that I would never do business with any manufacturer who behaved in such a manner.

 Well if you don't know Rudy it sure is funny that of the few threads Rudy did post to besides this one...you also posted too...what are you following all of Rudys posts... another coincidence...I guess you and Rudy are just like magnets to each other but of course it must be strickly a coincidence.

You see Rudy doesn't post on AA much at all and it is mighty funny how you always find a thread he is in...hhhmmmm???

Wendell why would I contact you to prove a voicemail when Rudy told me he had arranged for you to listen to it and he offered to pay you money...

you see Wendell you tried to play the unbiased,"lets make it seem like I'm neutral role" all in an attempt to make this Rudy thing look plausable...Rudy and I have been going at it in hundreds of posts and you were not in a single thread until I had damaging proof of the phone call when Rudy left me that message about how he got me for my money and cables...then YOU mysteriuosly entered the thread demanding I prove there was a voicemail,knowing that there is no way for me to actually let anyone hear it online.

 You don't trust when I say I don't know Rudy. That's fine. Contact the moderator and ask him to listen to the voice mail that proves you are telling the truth and Rudy is lying. They can then make the call and I'll respect that as will everyone else here. Your proof will establish you are telling the truth and Rudy is trying to scam you. Why would you want to keep the truth hidden? ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CONTACT A THIRD PARTY, BY PHONE, AND PLAY THE VOICE MAIL FOR THEM. IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT BUT I'M SURE YOU KNOW THAT. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT FOR YOU TO POST THE ACTUAL VOICE MAIL HERE.

If you don't want third party opinions you should not post in a public forum.

I'm sure everyone will be pleased to see the moderator's take on your proof. Do it now. Show that you are an honest man and Rudy is a liar. It was all he/he said until you said you had proof. Man up and show it.

Oh, and please explain the relevance of the linked post regarding the sound quality of an LP. I would like to understand your thinking process.

 You know, I hate when people use the word "smooth" as a characteristic. It is such a cop out. The word "smooth" is so widely used that its clique. It really tells us nothing.

If your vocabulary is so limited that "smooth" is the only adjective you can come up with to describe the characteristic of a particular item, I would suggest a less demanding hobby. And certainly do not waste your time trying to convey to us, a certain sonic impact of an item with the word "smooth"

What does the word "smooth" imply?

These speakers sound so smooth? This connecter sounds so smooth. This cable is just so smooth sounding…..It almost implies coloration.

This is even funnier....."smooth tonal quality" Now what does that mean?
Why would you want your tonal quality to be smooth? Are you suggesting it is grainless? Without grain? Is it not bright? (couldn’t you have a sound that is smooth and bright?) Its not shrill? Less edgy? What? Does it have full extension? Is it rolled off? Does it gloss things over? What!

See using the word smooth to describe sonic characteristic of something is pretty ridiculous. Also it is often used as a positive description. Personally, I dont want my system to be smooth? I would prefer it to have texture. This comes from resolution. The last thing I want is my brass, percussion and strings to be smoothed or glossed over. Also, I have never experienced a smooth live performance….

The only place I feel the word smooth has good merit is when describing a crossover, transition or frequency response.

Now I am not saying you cant use the word “smooth” to describe devices, but to only use it by itself is pretty lame.

 Hello Sherod,

Why yes this is Ernest from (E)rnest (L)ee (F)arley Audio.I haven't gone anywhere just changed the name of my company because there is another Elf Audio that sells car audio online and people had the two of us confused.Since the other Elf Audio already had a website with the same name I decided to change my company name since they already owned the domain name.

After that I decided to go in another direction as far as marketing goes and sell directly through my website without having to pay Audiogon as the middle man.Audiogon gave me great exposure in the cable industry,but 99% of all of my sales came from word of mouth so I decided I no longer needed Audiogon to sell my cables and I cancelled my account. To set the record straight I cancelled my Audiogon account,it was not suspended by Audiogon. I had hundreds of satified customers on Audiogon and earned impeccable feedback.

And as far as my old moniker of audiophile36 goes,when I changed my company name I decided to update my AA account with my new business info,but I had technical difficulties updating my account so it was easier for me to cancel that account and created a new one.

Our cables are still considered by many as some of the best sounding cables around and everything is the same except the name...WELCOME BACK???? HOW ABOUT WE NEVER LEFT!!!

 Ernest,
I'm not so sure that cancelling your membership on Audiogon was such a good idea. Some of the top cable manufacturers, etc. advertize and promote their goods on Audiogon. And a great many of their sales is through positive remarks found in the chat forums in both Audiogon and the Cable Asylum. Word of mouth is a good thing, but without positive exposure, that word-of-mouth will fade away. It seems to me that the only word-of-mouth you seem to be getting on these threads is all negative. Being in the marketing business, myself, I've found that going the positive route is a surer way of generating sales.

 See Ernest has been aware of the other company ELF Audio, who makes drivers, since Ernest started his cable scamming business. Ernest found it benificial to have a legitimate business with the same name. Every once and awhile he would get a stray customer from the legit business that thought the Troll was the same as the real Elf Audio....

When Ernest cable scamming business was exposed, he changed his name, his company and the look of his cables.

When people called Ernest the troll out?

The Troll named Ernest said he changed his name because there was another business with the same name?

This wasnt a problem for 5+ years, but now it is?

 Ernest, Wirewizzard, troll, elf, tranny, whatever you are.

Your account was suspended on audiogon. I know for a fact. How about you try to re-open your audiogon as wirewizard, so you can prove that it wasnt? Or relist under your old name? You will be denied?

See Ernest was suspended from audiogon because he was scamming members. He would list an item other than his cables, that he could actually sell, because his cables werent selling. Once he received the money he would pretend to ship the item using an inadequate service that cant be traced. When the buyer didnt receive his item, Ernest would use his feedback to convince the person it must of been a USPS screw up. He would remedy the situation by offering some cash and his shitty cables. Basically he would force people to buy his asinine cables. Ernest gets to keep half of the money and the scam goes unnoticed. Until someone caught on and went public, then everyone he scammed contacted audiogon with the same story. Audiogon suspended his account.

Rudy said: "Ernest gets to keep half of the money and the scam goes unnoticed"

Ernest says:That statement proves Rudy was lying about never receiving the $400 refund the entire time...how do I get to keep half of the money if I never sent you the $400 refund as you claim...that would be me getting to keep ALL of the money wouldn't it?

Now about this Audiogon thing...Rudy initiated a dispute on Audiogon on 6-11-2009...Audiogon cancelled the dispute on 6-14-01.Why would Audiogon cancel the dispute and then turn around and suspend me,also If Audiogon suspended my account because of the dispute why do I have feedback from as late as 7-1-2009...surely they would have suspended my account after the dispute was cancelled and my feedback would have had a bunch of negative complaints from customers right?

Rudy you are the one and only crazy customer I had out of hundreds and you will be politely ignored too.

 My comment relating to you keeping half the money is in reference to how you kept it going for so long. The other members I am aware of, that were scammed by you, have explained their incident as receiving a partial refund and cables, the half comment was a guestimate. The fact that you took me for all my money is why the scam came to light. If you would of sent me a partial refund, by the way 400 dollars is not half so it wouldn’t apply to my statement or incident even if I did receive your mythological payment, I probably would of walked away and chalked it up as a misfortune.

My experience with you has left me in dismay. You have done what I considered to be impossible. I sent a member of audiogon, with a considerable amount of positive feedback, 861 dollars and you ripped me off. I am still scratching my head over this. I have lost all faith in the controls to prevent being scammed.

Your reference to CPK not having as much feedback as you, means nothing. Your feedback comes from selling nickel and dime items. Your like the 5 & dime store of cables. You sell sub par cables for less than a 100 dollars. In fact your cables are some of the cheapest available. Most of your customers are beginners or people on a strict budget. They don’t have the experience with cables to begin with, let alone decent cables costing a bit more. Not to mention, what kind of systems your cables are being installed in. Look at your system... this is a copy and paste from you.

"My current reference speakers are modified Fostex Fe167e drivers in a TQWP enclosure"

And I have seen the level of your electronics in your ads.

Your customers see your false claims of gold and silver at such a low cost, and pull the trigger thinking what’s to loose? If they are better than my Monster or generic cables, I made an improvement with little cost. If they are not, I only risked 80 bucks or so. So they take a chance. When they install your cables they probably convince themselves there is an improvement. All your feedback and positive reviews are based on how inexpensive your cables are. Anyone can go out there and find a gauge, metal and jacket that performs ok...Twist it up in their mothers basement (you did let everyone know you still live at home right?) with a drill and sell them for cheap on audiogon. You can convince anyone that they sound good. Its a 50/50 chance. Hitler convinced people of all kinds of things.

You made the same comment about my feedback, CPK and I could start selling nick knacks on audiogon too and rack up a bunch of positive feedback. What is the point, its not worth our time, I make more money at my job. This type of feedback doesn’t mean sh-t, and your a prime example of that. A guy sells a bunch of CDs and Vinyl. He acquires a bunch of positive feedback. Then he lists a 10,000 dollar turntable….are you comfortable sending this guy 10,000 dollars across country for a SPJ La Luce? (do you know what that is?) I don’t think so.

I tried your Gold Super helix (or whatever you call them) You are using the same gauge and wire for speakers cables and interconnects. The cable absolutely sucked as speaker cables. I am using low powered 45 push pulls for a whopping 3 watts, in theory this gauge cable should work well, it did not. I am being honest, may my dog be hit by a car if I am lying, in this application the cables sounded slow, veiled and muddy. They lacked dynamics, my soundstage was compressed and homogenized. They did not last very long at all. Now as interconnects, they were not bad. They were not great, but they were acceptable for the price you usually sell them for. Not the 861 dollars I paid for them.

CPK is selling power cables in the 500 to 700 dollar range. Based on his posts and literature, I am convinced they are probably pretty good. Since my incident with you, I have taken a step back, but I will try his power cables in the future thats a promise.

I apologize again for stealing this thread, but this guy needs to go away for good.

 Wow guess what...here is a feedback from a satisfied customer who thought my Super Helix Golds smoked his Analysis Plus Oval 9's without any break in...certainly the Oval 9's aren't nickle and dime cables are they?


Bought SHG speaker cables from Earnest, and upon first hookup, I was shocked!! Dang these sound great! Not even broken in, they smoke my Oval 9's I just switched out. Super transparent & clean, and huge soundstage! Well built also!! AAA+
Positive by Buyer Telescope_trade (450) on 11-19-08


Anyone can go view my feedback on Audiogon and read plenty more testimonials of how good my cables are...that way Rudy or CPK can't say I modified anything.

Rudy face it you are just a customer with a grudge and you need to let it go...everybody but you thinks my cables are spectacular.

 The original transaction started when Rudy bought a pair of Au24 speaker cables from me which he claims he never received even though the USPS Delivery Confirmation number claims he received the package.Rudy later demanded a full refund and I would not give it to him because the package was delivered.Rudy sent several crazy emails to me stating he would post on Audiogon and the AudioAsylum to destroy my business if I didn't give him a full refund and I told him to go ahead do what you had to do. After Rudy saw I was firm in my stance he completely changed his approach and asked could he get a partial refund and some of my cables. I accepted his offer because I really didn't want any bad blood with a customer. I sent Rudy $400 and some of my cables... after he got the cables and the money he then began his rant on the cable asylum about how I scammed him.

Bottom line is Rudy was mad that I would not give him a full refund...so he did what he had to do to get a $400 partial refund and cables from me...after he received the $400 and cables he reverted back to the crazy rude Rudy and posted here that I scammed him.

Did you ever move forward with a complaint. The more I think about your situation and the situation I encountered (with all my still unanswered questions), some sort of response to Audiogon is probably warranted. Let me know your thoughts. NMC

PS- I don’t dwell on it much but your email caused me to mull it over again.

Show originalShow full headerHello. My comments in ELFs feedback refer to a situation where I bought an
expensive ($500+) Jolida CD player from him and never received it. After
much back and forth with both ELF and USPS, I am still undecided about what
happened.

ELF said he shipped it to me but could not provide relevant backup data. He
said he did not keep USPS receipts for long. USPS said the tracking number
provided by ELF was for a very small package- a cable, I believe, which is
what I think he mainly sells- sent around the time of my "scheduled"
delivery to a nearby Mclean, VA address, but not MY address. He said the
package was insured, but that USPS would not pay up on the insurance because
the package WAS in fact delivered, just not my package (which would have
weighed 20 lbs).

Since his documentation was fuzzy and the USPS had their documentation
painting a different story, I tentatively concluded that ELF had never
mailed a package TO ME (I have a 90% feeling this). However, there is a
slight chance (10%) that he told the truth and the USPS lost the package.

ELF did work out a deal with me involving some cash back and a few sets of
his Gold Helix ICs. These came through OK and the product is good.

That is my view on things.

I will keep your situation in confidence and appreciate your discretion on
my viewpoint.

Sincerely,

Hi,

If you would, please keep this confidential, until I find out whats going
on.

Hi, My name is Rudolff Zigray. I recently purchased a pair of speaker
cables off of Ernest of Elf Audio. They were not Elf Audio Cables. They
were a 3 meter pair of Audience AU24e speaker cables. I paid 861 dollars
for the cables. Ernest shipped the cables USPS, with out no insurance or
Direct Signature. I never received my item. Nor based on the service
Ernest used, can I verify what address was on the box.

Ernest tells me he never had an issue using USPS and this if the first time
anything like this happened. This is why he did not ship with insurance or
direct signature. He refused to refund my money but offered his cables
instead.

Now, I am not sure what happened. Ernest seems to be honest. But when I
saw the feedback you left Elf Audio, You state you had an issue in which
something happened to your item, USPS screwed up? and Ernest gave you cables
instead? Was your item something other than Elf Cables?

I am a member with oustanding feedback. I really appreciate if you could
please describe your experience with Ernest of Elf Audio. It will help me
in my situation right now. If I can be any help to you in the future,
please do not hesitate to ask. Again, I thank you for your time and
consideration into this matter.

Kindest regards
Rudolff

 If he had the proof he would have shared it. You now either accept the fact you were ripped off or take legal action. You will accomplish nothing more here.

Losing $861 stings but it is not life changing money. I suspect you can survive it.

FWIW, I would never consider doing business with him. I don't know why anyone would who has followed this thread.

I wonder why the moderator deleted all of our post asking Troll to prove the message was left. His failure to produce was a clear indication that he is a liar. They also deleted his pictures on shady asylum but not here. Is there something I am missing? (besides my 861 dollars of course)

Thanks again
Rudy

 I suspect they want you two to communicate privately and keep it off these forums. Someone may have complained or they may just be tired of it. Best for you to ask them.

 Brad at RAL didn't have any negative feedback either...

Rudy's statement in no negates what happened....I see debating wasn't your forte in school

 Yeah but Brad had tons of customers complaining on Audiogon as well as on the Cable asylum...I only have one complaining customer.Also RAL didn't nearly have the amount of positive feedbacks as myself.RAL had limited feedback and he couldn't get away with ripping people off for long...I have earned very extensive feedback which you can't earn from ripping people off...my feedback score more than triples yours CPK.

CPK I just checked out your feedback on Audiogon and your last positive feedback was on 6-18-09...I had five positive feedbacks since then...come on CPK even during this Rudy ordeal I was still selling more than you.

CPK...you've been selling on Audiogon since 2001 and you only have 88 sales with a feedback score of 264...I've been selling on Audiogon two years less than you since 2003 and had 298 sales with a feedback score of 894...seems to me you are just jealous.

CPK let Rudy speak for himself and stop kissing his ass emailing him about my business like a little girl. I replied to Rudys post, why are you replying to my reply to Rudy???...CPK judging by your feedback your sales are very limited and far apart which means you have too much time on your hands worrying about an issue between Rudy and myself...go braid up some power cords and get a life.

 on my bulk wire page, no one will notice.

Your actions speak louder then any drivel you write, and don't worry I expected it from you so I saved a screen shot earlier today of your page on my computer at my office prior to you changing it.

I’ll post it later.

Ernest, come now, I have only had commercial product since Jan. 2008. and until Sept. 2008 it was only one, my original powercord.

First your cordial and then when you have been caught in your bullshit (like above) you resort to half-truths and misinformation as to deflect the attention off yourself rather then addressing it which is your MO.

If your prior business was so great you would have made reference to it on your new site, you didn’t. As you didn’t bother to mention to anyone here who you really were until you were called out by me. You used to proudly end your post with your full name when your moniker was Audiophile36, no longer, why would that be Ernest. You behavior is one of a person trying to hide there past identity, not one who has nothing to hide. You realize the more you write, the more you make yourself look bad.

It seems to me that Rudy has responded to your endless posts, you are just unable to do what is right and continue through your actions to display a nature of inherent dishonesty.

Picture look familiar? It's the same one that is on your bulkwire page. Stop telling people your wire is gold plated OCC, it’s not, neither Neotech or Furukawa make such a beast. You use cheap wire from Parawire.

 CPK...this type of behavior that you demonstrate explains a lot about you...you are in the same business as I am,yet you never had any personal dealings with me nor have I had any with you,yet you feel the need to follow my every move and reply to all of my posts with information that has nothing to do with the original posters question.You are not helping the original poster when you do this infact you are highjacking threads and helping destroy the Cable Asylum.

CPK I'm not going to argue back and forth with you about petty stuff that has nothing to do with you.I hope you put as much effort in your own cable business as you do in worrying about mine.

CPK my business is doing well and I wish you good luck with your business and I hope everyone buys one of your powercords...Oh yeah if you reply to any of my posts and aren't posting anything constructive or helpful you will be politely ignored.

 Ernest your response is disingenuous. You deleted your account here and on A-gon because your issues with Rudy and there was a black mark associated with your name. Coming back under a new moniker and not telling people who you are is dishonest, not petty and not a fact that you can argue. You don’t even mention your prior business name on your new site, why would that be?

It is people like you that give cable manufacturer’s a bad name, so yeah it does say a lot about me, I am willing to call a spade a spade.

Also you have been on AA long enough to know that using your new company name as a moniker is not allowed.

 I guess in all the account deleting, moniker changing, industry rule violating it slipped his mind that your IP address is at the top of every post you make.
