Synergistic calls out Audioholics

I dont know, In my system cables dont make much of a difference. last 20 years with 10k usd spent in cables … my experience has been no to some sound difference at most. In my very early years I saw a big change going from 18/22 gauge to 12/10 gauge. My current two channel system is paradigm signature s8 v1 + parasound jc monoblocks + parasound jc2. I use audioquest type 9, and kimber 12vs (cable length is Left 15 feet, Right 8 feet) and the sound difference is extremely minimal, not a game changer in anyway. I see more value in room treatment, speaker positioning to get better sound than investing in cables. I see many pictures in audio forms, and here where people place tower speakers 6 inches from the back wall, 10 inches from the side walls, and 5 feet apart...and expect them to sound good...I dont understand it. At the end of the day everyone experiences sound differently, so I can only speak for myself and my system. My second system is a 2.1 setup composed of kef ls50 meta, parasound hint 2.1, M&K v12 subwoofer, with bluejeans 10 gauge cables - and that system sounds phenomenal - not the most high-end system but pretty good for price, and can be considered endgame for many people. 

First off, if you can’t hear differences in cables you have either a hearing problem or a resolution issue.  Also, Fun fact...dug out some old cables I have on hand just to check my ears.  They all sound different...sorry Audioholics 😔  Reminded me why I love MIT products...just so much more realistic sounding on every level!  My REV MIT loom delivers better tone, articulation, clarity, dynamics, bass definition and extended airy highs.  Everything sounds muffled and constricted comparatively!

Hopefully Gene won't get sucked in by that Snake Oil salesman and the overpriced nonsense that he sells 

Is there a cure for minions?

I will repeat something i wrote already but which is very important to understand....

That will explain why i am not very interested by the products of one of the side nor by the pseudo debunking claim of the other side...

For their personal feud i am not interested by inquiring i am not a judge...




There are 2 falsehoods i see percolating in the audio industry...

---One is a sin by OMISSION by the electronic design marketing companies when they suggest: buy our own electronic design and your audiophile experience is assured and warrented...

This is half truth at best nevermind the real S.Q. value of the product because audiophile experience is ALSO mostly tributary of the controls of many psycho acoustical factors outside the scope of the electronic design of any piece of electronic gear speakers included....

---The other sin is by FALSIFICATION of science by abuse of some aspect of technology... Some tried to convince people that audiophile experience is reducible ONCE AND FOR ALL to the measures of some known chosen electrical parameters... This is completely false because audiophile experience is generally tributary of many psychoacoustical factors outside of the scope of these selected chosen parameters...The EARS are a measuring apparatus and the most important one, negating this is not only blindness but pure stupidity and plain ignorance...



Then i dont need Gene nor Ted...

😁😊

By the way i know first hand that mechanical acoustic controls exceed anything in upgrading power.... We listen to speakers/room at last...And i can replicate the audible effects of many costly "tweaks" anyway....

For those hypnotized by pricing, i never listen to anything that moves me enough to trash my 500 bucks system correctly embedded.... Than forget price, think about mechanical, electrical ands especially acoustical embeddings... Trust yourself....

If you want to know if your room is good, listen to The Three penny opera 1958 by Kurt Weill with Lotte Lenya and if you could listen the orchestra playing in front of you, seating in front of your speakers, but the singers voices coming from your back wall where there is no speakers, your room is under acoustic controls....If not, buying a cable AT ANY PRICE will not give you this nor buying most tweaks or a costly dac or amplifier.... Acoustic is key....

I will not speak about voice timbre or instrumental timbre which sound unnatural even in very costly systems or very tweaked one i listen to...

Forget price think acoustic....
