Who says cables don't make a difference?


Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables". 
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables. 
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.

Andy, let’s not demean used car salespeople, they do have a purpose. People do need used cars, so they have a real and useful function. Unlike certain trolls whose only purpose brings
 no value whatsoever to anyone. The fake science (maybe he has a primer he uses as his wealth of information) does more harm than good because it’s being misapplied, misquoted, and misunderstood.
he misses the Forest for the tress. It’s like seeing the Mona Lisa, and you’re trying to take in its beauty, and he’s trying to explain why the wrong painting technique was used in the painting. Coming from some one who can’t even appreciate the beauty of the art itself. The techniques are end games, they’re used to achieve a purpose. That purpose is to create something beautiful. If the technique works to help achieve that goal, that’s all that matters.

Why do you ignore my polite offer to do a simple test yourself ?

Arguments are not enough, and arguing is of no avail except for marketers and debunkers.... Scientist prefer experiment first...

Or do you prefer to argue?


Here it is:

take a bag of micro herkimer diamonds (40 or more around 10gram) and a piece of shungite (100 gram) put them on an amplifier near the transformer, one after the other and anyone will be able to pass the blindtest and guess which each one is ....

The shungite will compress the sound, the herkimer diamonds will expand it....

After the blindtest i will give a recipe for other experiments....

Is it not simple enough?

The total cost is a few bucks for each minerals....


@mahgister --- you don't understand, I am sorry. This sophist's blindtest experiments are meant to test the listener, not the gear.

He has made it clear multiple times. Under both his accounts, atdavid first now this "robert".

Most certainly they are not meant to test HIM.

So, similar to Mike Powell's offer to him when he was atdavid to visit him to blindtest the cables, he will likely ask you to do the same --- ask YOU to blindtest your tweaks, not him on his own. 
His own words in one of these threads is that the goal is to stiffle discussion. Not to have meaningful discussion, not to use actual facts, not to be truthful or honest. 
@mahgister --- you don’t understand, I am sorry. This sophist’s blindtest experiments are meant to test the listener, not the gear.
My simple test is only that: testing the difference and very opposite effect of 2 minerals on an audio component...

After verifying that anybody can use a blindtest to verify his own impressions in listening the 2 minerals different impact...

Is it too complicate?

You can use that minerals on any cable and modifying the connectors also etc...

I always suppose people are of good faith because i am always myself....
