Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?

Self-assurance is the best way to deal with negativity, who cares about his opinion.

Anyway, its all about synergy, does he have some magical cable that works for every system. If he does his name must be Merlin, or maybe God.

"Rubbish" and "Nonsense" remind me of "The Squatter and the Ant".

In all likelihood, he is one of those people that thinks negative criticism is helpful. This is probably his style of being helpful whenever he thinks something doesn't quite measure up. I would just ignore him. I hope he is not a friend.

Unfortunately, there are those aspiring audiophiles (and I use the term lightly) who do not hesitate to demonstrate their ignorance by criticizing ones cables before hearing them, or the system in any other configuration. If lamp cord sounds good, what is the problem? I have high dollar cables, and I have cheap stuff, and lamp cord is included. Not all high dollar stuff is good in every given situation. People who criticize cable before knowing more about a system obviously are a neophyte in their audio journey...... and hopefully they will be able to pull their head and ears out of their socket, take time to enjoy the music, have meaningful discussion with other music-philes, and have fun. Isn't that supposed to be part of all this? Jallen

Thank you for all your opinions. Actually he is a dealer carrying another line of cable(interconnects and speaker cable only) which he strongly advocates. He has a strong opinion on the type of cables that are to be used for a piece of equipment that I bought from him. He told me to ditch all my power cords away and use stock cords since in his view are doing something malicious to the sound that is not in-line with the idea of natural sound reproduction(he doesn't sell power cords). I personally don't think his priority is all about making more money out of his critical remarks but more to achieving optimum sound from the equipment that he carries, and he has more than 20 years in the business which is also another passion for him. For what it's worth, the designer of the equipment himself is not a believer in cables.

Maybe I am revealing too much now but guess that is the limit that I can disclose.
