Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?

Add me to the list of those who've gotten grief over their cables. In my case it's been from my "technically knowledgeable" friends, one in particular.

"Why the fire hoses? Gonna get bigger sound that way? (snicker)" This was one of several jabs from someone I gave speaker cables that by his own admission improved the sound of his system. I reminded him of "the gift", then suggested in a friendly fashion that since cables made no difference he could return the ones I had given him. Surely zip cord would be as good? He stammered out a response equivalent to "that was different" and the subject hasn't come up again, though he does chime in from time to time on power cords.

It probably goes without saying that naysayers rarely change their tune. But it is possible to alter the frequency...

I dont like negative critism,so those who did that to my
syetem and my cables,I suspended them in coming to my
house till they realize they are wrong.Real friends they
should not hurt your feeling..By the way I finally FIRED
THEM THOUGH..Good example is TVAD who gave me a tip about
my speakers positioning..very good guy.

Since they're my cables and I'm the one doing the majority of the listening the only relevant opinion is my own. In other words who cares.

Critize your cables? Seriously their are more important things in life folks.

*Criticize and there. Spose I shouldn't really care about looking like an idiot either then, lol.

"I was just wondering how one would react in these kind of situations."

I just curl up on the floor in the fetus position and start suckin my thumb real hard...
