I have a mint pair of retro Gold IC's that I must sell to pay some bills. All paperwork and aluminum case included!

Quote Bob Ohllson(sp): Legitimate double blind tests require that subjects be trained to hear specific artifacts. This is because our hearing ranges over a huge dynamic range like a long fast telephoto lens with a very short depth of field. Appropriate training is virtually impossible with cables and connectors which means one will almost always get a random result that is utterly meaningless in spite of sounding "scientific."
This post appeared in a cable thread(everything rosy), now closed. I thought it was an excellent post, and suitable to this thread. the bordas apparently agreed but for the wrong reason. the bordas, you seem completely disconnected from reality. Of course in these scary days that may be a 'good place'. Pardon me, but I doubt many in the prop head place will be eager to take you up.
Could you explain?? Are you one of the 99% who deny reality and have convinced yourself that radio shack cables are just fine, or are you part of the uber elite who can afford anything but have decided to cast off the shackles of capitalistic pursuits? Maybe if you actually completed a thought and composed a cogent message without cryptic inuendo, I would be able to grasp your golden nuggets of wisdom...or are they just tirds?

Dude, anyone can read your reply to that post and anyone can read the tripe you posted above here. You know nothing about my systems, yet I know apparently everything about yours.You substantiate nothing, just drone on about jaw-dropping realisim from your cables. You have a problem, brother, you are an embarrassment to audio enthusiasts that use their heads. It would be funny if it wasn't so terribly sad.
I just scanned the entire post and found nothing from you or any interaction between you and I anywhere here....what the fuck is your deal? Of course I don't know you! You DO NOT know me either. All I ask is that you be clear and substantiate your accusations or blanket slams toward me. I notice you just joined last year....I have been an avid audiophile for over 30 years. I have played in bands, attended some of the finest concert halls since I was 15, attend live concerts regularly and most likely have personally owned more high end gear in more environments than most of the well intentioned Prop Heads above. You are an audiophile racist.....you judge without any real understanding or experience comparable with mine. Then again, I can only speculate, do to the fact that you prefer to remain a mystery, so you can remain disconnected from the reality of an actual conversation between two intelligent individuals. Well, one anyway, who eagerly awaits illumination on the finer points of systems matching, cablenomics and why all cables sound the same. Ever wonder why two seemingly identical violins can be valued so differently? Why one is worth hundreds and the other is priceless? It's because some musicians and concert goers can appreciate exceptional tone....not everyone, but some. Going back to what my intent was on a post that somehow got linked to this one (which is uniquely geeky in itself), was that random mixes of people judging subjective and emotional gear/material being played back under experimental conditions with a check list is inherently dumb and will yield useless results. I have owned several $80K systems over the years, as well as $5K systems. I have owned, borrowed and been lent prototype cables from the who's who of the cable world as well. My experience as a musician, audiophile and avid concert goer who has OWNED more of the stuff discussed on threads like these than most, unavoidably offers me a broader basis of understanding regarding topics such as the aforementioned, for which you obliquely and unjustifiably attacked me!

Wow. http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=cables&m=156041
and your review recently of the MIT cables, the one that vanished remember? a doozy..............
The review is under the "review section", where it belongs. I still don't get where your coming from at all? I keep waiting for an actual point to be made that is specific and meaningful and with context and some sort of counter response that involves more than re-posting me or being cryptic. Is that so much to ask?
dave_b
In order:
No, it isn't.
That's because you cant read.
Havent re-posted you. not once.
Yes, it is.
Wow...ok, have a nice day! Oh, by the way, I found someone who understands the value of a beutifully useless thing....the Retro Golds ship tommorrow:O)

run along and pay those bills then.....
Payed the bill:O) Also ordered 2 new pair of Matrix HD23 IC's...I hate when I get those zero interest checks good for one year:O( Have a fun summer protesting with the 99%ers Professor Finski! I hear that Home Depot is gonna run a huge sale for 4th of July on bulk wire....stock up for all your future DIY projects.
dave_b
Finski, are you sure you are slamming the right person? I really have no idea what you are referencing. My only post on this thread was regarding my Retro Gold IC's that I'm gonna sell....are you confusing me with THEBORED post before me ??????????
