Always interested in new products, especially at this time, cables, I've been following this thread from its inception, with great interest!
After recently adding a component to the system and wanting to wait for things to stabilize, before auditioning cables (not something that I enjoy), I considered Rick's cables to be on the short list of wires to trial. However, I'm beginning to rethink this direction because of this thread's recent direction and tone.
The blatant suggestion that comments by the likes of Albert, John and Al, are unwelcome, because they're not following some sort of prescribed direction and they're somehow getting in the way of the H/F accolades, is an affront to some of the most thoughtful and considerate contributors for decades on Audiogon and a distinct disservice to what well may be very fine cables!
I frequent forums for discourse -- hopefully cogent, but more importantly, for a discussion of all sides of a topic's coin. I welcome all rational perspectives and I hope this thread gets back on that more cordial, but respective path and off the: ONLY praise for H/F cables is-acceptable-here tact.
Otherwise, the quality of what well could be very excellent cables is becoming questionable because of the heavy handed attempt to control and constraint discourse to what a few believe to be the appropriate course of this thread!
