What About Loom Theory?


Can someone please direct me to information regarding loom theory? I've seen it referred to a number of times on AudiogoN—people saying they endorse it and so on—, but no one seems to say what it is.

If you know the loom theory, would you please articulate it or direct me to somewhere where this theory is articulated?

Thanks,

Aaron

There is no technical justification in the Nordost explanation, just a digestable analogy.
"Loom theory" is not unlike saying you should have the same tire model on all four wheels of your car.
Like anything else in audio, the only way to know if it works for you is to try it.
Listen to a loom that you think might work and then try to change a few cables here or there and see what it does to the overall sound.
The loom theory works for me----and my loom is not Nordost.
If there really was something to the loom thing, then why doesn't it apply to the rest of our systems? Why not have all our components from one manufacturer and reap all that synergy stuff. Now if the objection to that is something along the lines that no single manufacturer has the expertise to make entire systems, then what makes you think an interconnect maker knows how to design a digital cable or even a power cord? Just because they look similar does not mean they are they operate the same. An eel can look like a snake, but one is a fish and the other is a reptile.
