^ sorry had to go there

This is a MUCH better topic than stiffening capacitors

Dukk, I think Vroom just called you a girl!! (Beatles reference).

Like I said, I don't mind that it doesn't seem obvious. I 'NEVER' would have believed it. In fact, I think I giggled when a salesman suggested it to me. I am though, as I have mentioned in the past, working on something for all of you, that will let you experience the diffrence between equipment of all types. Just give me a little more time...

not if your "Dukk-the false god of audio". Derek even said so.

^ About the only line in that shinola that was worth the cost to print...


Anyway - Dave the perfect comparison machine exists already: the ABX box. Wire guys never want to talk about it though [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] ;)

Their are ppl that can hear the diffrence between rcas.. They are all on Revscene :D

Wireworld makes (or made) a cable comparator that compares the cable under test to no cable at all... it looks like a pain but it is considered a reviewers tool. It isn’t too far off from what SUX2BU was suggesting but a touch more elegant and it probably costs a small fortune… I noticed after D-50 pointed it out to me I was name dropping but I don’t think there are too many dealers who sell the above mentioned product, so at least I am a poor shill (there is a Canuk distributor but car audio is not their market).

The ABX box is a great idea, but the fact that it was put into the signal path will likely be enough to nullify the benefits of the better cables...

Dukk, I ain't fighting with you. You know I respect your opinions just as much as everyone else (and much more than some).

You've done your test, and you didn't hear a difference, so it's not worth it to you. That's really the end of the discussion.

I got a buzz off all the cool metalurgucal arguments that Audioquest had. And I only looked them up to support what I had heard, because honestly, I thought it was a bunch of crap untill that point.

I'm all good... Everyone else should be. There's no need for name-callin' or cheap shots or anything else. A good old-school discussion about cables is all it is. For each debate there must be two camps, Dukk leads one, I am part of the other.

I have some monster cable. I like how it looks... but the quality to me isnt what it should be.

I baught them and I think they are supose to be the best they make (prob wrong) but they are bigger then the 4awg power wire I use ot have...but tiny wires inside. AND the actual metal hook seperates way to easy (see all the time) from the rubber protection.... man that sucks. Here are pics.

The RCA is Monster (and fairly recent) but I havent seen that particular cable before nor have I seen a Monster with only 2 conductors before

That's what the cable guys ALL say! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

For sure Dave - don't think I am fighting or feel any animosity or anything. I'm just representing the other side here. I've only played with interconnects up to a couple hundred bux a metre anyway - which is more than I would ever pay so I am happy to be of the opinion that I am (that is, the RIGHT one :D )

AAAAAAA - I've seen those cables. I thought the same thing about the way the rubber attaches to the end - cheeeeezay! Like where's the barrel [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img] They look damn purty though.
