Quack System Upgrades

BJC is a company that spends their workday doing nothing but making cables.  It was mentioned above that they will not state that they believe in cable burn in or wire directionality.

One explanation may be that they don't want to make representations that they cannot prove by scientific fact and choose to just keep silent on the subject.

I like their Canare 4S11 (Star Quad cable, 14 AWG) for speaker cable.  Of course its not really theirs, its bulk wire they terminate.  I don't know how many high end cable retailers actually make (manufacture and draw) their own wire.

geoffkait,

"Huh? If everyone at the demo was transfixed wouldn’t that indicate placing colored paper under amps and around the demo room was uh, effective? Oh, you’re probably one of those group hypnosis or placebo effect advocates. Never mind."

I am educated about some things but am not a mind reader. I have no idea why these people were attending. Perhaps it was the campaign in some of the mags previous about this magic stuff. There are many reason why people could be "transfixed" - that's the skill of a grifter or a carnie, for one. I happened to go into the room because it was silent, a great relief from the racket elsewhere, and discovered I had "gone through the Looking Glass." 

There are plenty in high end where a little knowledge and a big wallet can lead to turn-in-itis. Twas ever thus with expensive man-hobbies. How many shoes did Imelda Marcos have?

Or my friend, as Sheryl Crow sings, they were there "...to see what all the fuss was about."

Suggest you read some books by Nathaneal West.

jetter,

You read my post wrong, if it was my post you are referring?. They (do) state that they (don't) believe in cable burn-in.

astro58go, sorry my bad.

My former friend used the (Peter Belt) foil on top of his Audio Artistry "Mozarts" that he then placed a bag of lead shot on top.

I just tried to act normal.........
