Esoteric cables

I agree.  That did make me laugh.

i find it so hilarious how things turn into such a pissing contest...  i mean we are talk about freakin wire here

if you want my opinion even though u guys might not... the concept of audiophile wire means nothing to me, its all nonsense, i really think its more of a ego thing - "my wire costs more than yours ha ha" blah blah blah its rediculous

 i still think copper wire is freakin copper wire

i had a talk with my father about this subject of copper wire and he reminded me that a few years ago, an lab experiment was conducted on blindfolded subjects to see if they could tell the difference between 'regular copper wire' and 'audiophile copper wire' as well as other wire and from what i hear the results were that the people could not. tell the difference... if i can find the article ill be sure to post it.

His personal choice is a pair of speaker wires that cost $13,000. "Anyone would have to have cloth ears not to tell the difference between cables," he said.

"In my professional opinion that's baloney," said Alan P. Kefauver, a classically trained musician and director of the Recording Arts and Sciences program at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. "Has the wire been cryogenically frozen? Is it flat or round? It makes no difference, unless it makes you feel better." His choice for speaker wire? Good-quality 16-gauge zip wire.
