James Randi Offers $1 Million If Audiophiles Can Prove $7250 Speaker Cables Are Better

From Gizmodo,

"....$7,250 Pear Anjou speaker cables found its way to the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), and Randi offered $1 million to anyone who can prove those cables are any better than ordinary (and also overpriced) Monster Cables. Pointing out the absurd review by audiophile Dave Clark, who called the cables "danceable," Randi called it "hilarious and preposterous." He added that if the cables could do what their makers claimed, "they would be paranormal."

From JREF: "We see that the Pear Cable company is advertising a pair of 12-foot "Anjou" audio cables for $7,250; that’s $302 a foot! And, as expected, "experts" were approached for their opinions on the performance of these wonders ... Well, we at the JREF are willing to be shown that these "no-compromise" cables perform better than, say, the equivalent Monster cables. While Pear rattles on about "capacitance," "inductance," "skin effect," "mechanical integrity" and "radio frequency interface," - all real qualities and concerns, and adored by the hi-fi nut-cases - we naively believe that a product should be judged by its actual performance, not by qualities that can only be perceived by attentive dogs or by hi-tech instrumentation. That said, we offer the JREF million-dollar prize to - for example - Dave Clark, Editor of the audio review publication Positive Feedback Online."


cheers

audiolabyrinth....i  will be doing that exact comparison this weekend and will throw in the CPT pc also.

Bob has always been a gentleman to me both on the phone and in emails. 100% professional! I'd nave a hard time believing anything else.

The GE Power Cord (high current version) is the winner over the HF CT-1 Power cord in my system.

Lak,
That's impressive,  the HFC CT-1 power cable is no run of the mill product, it has been widely praised. It's good for all when a very high performing product can be had for very reasonable cost. 
Charles, 

About a month and half ago ozzy started this "graphene" thread which definitely got my attention.  I've been in the process of redoing my system for a while and after getting the awesome KEF Blade 2 speakers to complete it, I thought about upgrading my cables.  I'm not new to the audiophile craziness as I've been in it for close to 40 years and many cables from many manufacturers past through my many systems.  I ordered a pair of GE speaker cables and two pairs of interconnects (XLR and RCA).  They arrived about a week ago and I put them all in at the same time.  Right out of the box the sound of my system was transformed (and it's getting better).  In a nut shell, the biggest thing was clarity, followed by great sound staging and imaging.  Tonally, everything seems to be just right, from the lowest lows through the smooth and involving vocals to the highest highs.  I simply enjoy the music more now than ever before and let's not forget that ultimately that should be our goal.  I rarely post here but this time I thought I'll share my opinion.  The next step will probably be the power cords...BTW, dealing with Bob was a pleasure too, which in itself is a bonus.
