Hey Tycobb, judging from all the responses to your post so far, might it have been a better idea to approach your topic with less of a brash, know-it-all slant?? Nobody likes to be lectured to. You are certianly NOT the last word when it comes to speaker cabling, and most folks don't appreciate being talked "down" to. I notice that you have spent most of your time responding back to members with defensiveness...and sarcasm. That speaks volumes about you...and your communication skills, (or lack of). You aren't dealing with idiots, or morons here my friend. So many of our fellow audiophile A-gon members are experienced listeners who have spent decades building numerous systems, tweaking, upgrading, "enveloping" themselvs in high-end audio hobby/passion. So many in our "community" have forgotten more than you or I will ever know about this "hobby" we all hold so near and dear to our hearts. Are you not aware that countless members right here on A-gon are in fact Electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, equipment manufacturers, cable designers, Magazine writers and editors, acoustic engineers, NASA scientists, recording engineers, musicians, doctors and lawyers?? Smart people. Experienced people. Unfortunately, you come off like an amatuer, you say assinine things that make very little sense, and you've managed to do it with a self-righteous, "know-it-all" tone in your voice that seems to have ruffled alot of feathers! Any wonder why all the responses to your post have been less than supportive? You've obviously pissed people off. Try posing a QUESTION next time. Try sharing your experience without sounding like you know everything. You might find that fellow A-gon members will chime in with thoughtful, poignient responses...and not attack you the way the have. Just a thought. Afterall, aren't we all in this TOGETHER? Aren't we supposed to be a "community"?
