Never ending audio urban myths.
Are we back big time? (all over again and again). Directional wires,
Burn in, purity? Let's add some snake oil, voodoo spelling, deeding in holly
water, lay the wire on special wood blocks etc'.
For some reason, the offered DIY needs none of them. They still sounded
better than any other cable used before. How do you explain that Mr. geoffkait? What happend to your Hi-end say, that gone with Mr. khiak's and friends sharing? US $33,000.-
Hi-end
worth of cables back to storage over some US $300.- DIY cables, changed your mind? The Hi end was removed from the table and the directinal BI returned.
I like the most, when a poor product (speaker cable) is offered for US $12,900.-,
sounds bad and you come up with the let it play for a while as it needs a burn
in! Mr. geoffkait, it will never sound better. Even if you take it out
to your car and give it a jump start with those cables. However, a proper
cable, with a good sound from the first time – don't need any burn in (or
excuses).
Mr. conradnash
Before you fall to Mr. geoffkait recommendations, I would kindly
propose you to fix all your acoustic and other audio issues, that require that room
correction process, that you mentioned on one of your previous posts. That is way
more significant in getting a better sound, than dancing with a candle around
cables and whisper spellings. You missed
the option of just light candles and eat some donates, as Hanukah is just over.
Room correction:
There was a guy who went with his wife to the tailor to get himself a
nice jacket. The tailor took measurements and asks him to return in a week.
After a week he was back, and the jacket was ready.
He put on the jacket, but one sleeve was a bit short. The tailor asked
him to tilt a bit to that side. Problem was fixed. But on the opposite side,
the bottom side of the jacket went up and exposed his lower back…After some 20
min. and endless corrections, the jacket was good but the guy had to stand in a
very awkward position. As he was standing there, a new couple walked in. The husband
looked at this awkward position standing guy and said to his wife: this looks as
a good tailor. If he managed to get this poor guy a jacket, he will do a really good
one for me.
This is what I think about room correction. This might explain some of your misunderstanding
of why the new DIY cable didn't shine when you replaced the old one. Your RC
had done some correction on the old cables (with DF and the relation between the two), as it is part of the loop. Did you
run RC SW again with the new DIY? Both ways the RC was involved…Pity you
mentioned it only later.
Instead of trying Mr. geoffkait recommendations (a waste of
time), try to play your system without RC and with your old cables. Than
connect the new DIY cable and listen again. Than be kind to share your impressions.
