Synergistic calls out Audioholics

May all the combatants on both sides of the issue of cables enjoy the latest battle in The Cable Wars! Imo, it’s a colossal waste of life and potential of the hobby when arguing about such things if people don’t even follow basic, proper methods. :)

I agree. I don’t mind people pitching anything, even pricey fuses, but it is often done in a vacuum seemingly for the sole purpose of getting others to buy product X, which comes of as shilling. If you ignore fundamentals first, or get those wrong, none of the more esoteric things really matter.  

Now now Frank, be nice, George I'm sure is nothing like that. He has one of the most tasteful pocket protectors you ever saw, and his glasses are held together with genuine Scotch tape.

Just how many here are going to say they have no dog in this fight but....blah, blah, blah, then Ted is a scumbag? Can one say the same of Gene? Bunch of nonsense.

Also, copping out with some demand of neutral territory is a red herring, at best. Everything looks to be out in the open. Swapping out items is done right in front of you. Does anyone think Ted has devices in his walls or anything as ludicrous?

I’ve been to audio shows where SR has done their demos. Yes, the differences were there and as evident as one could want. Were they better, or just different, it depended, but they were obvious. And yet, there were always some clowns whispering and laughing amongst themselves about how there was no difference at all. You know the type: like the ones in grade school who thought that saying it just loud enough to be heard but not out in the open made them a man because they got it out and no one protested.

Now, either they were tone deaf or of the mind to just flat out dismiss what they heard because it wasn’t big enough for them. Or, they had some know it all theory as to why and ran with that. Then, they come on forums like this and harp away.

All the best,
