In Reply to: JPS Labs/Eupen cable controversy: A call to Belgium posted by Steve Eddy on April 28, 2004 at 02:59:07:
This seems to confirm my suspicions that the whole cable thing (whether ICs, speaker or power) is a crock from beginning to end. Do they sound all the same? Who knows? Are the insane prices justified? Obviously not. The whole thing is as bogus as can be. The construction of cables is, for all intents and purposes, a simple affair made complicated by gougers.
