Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs

Czarivey, when I wanted to buy an Ikeda 407 tonearm, I found cheaper versions available from Hong Kong, China. They are fakes. China has a major problem even internally with fakes, such as high pressure pipes that fail, etc.

I still don't understand why you and Mapman bother to tell us your view, which many of us think is nonsense. Just enjoy your music.

Prices are also based on a price tag a company wants a cable for this high prices.

In my opinion there are cables who can give you more new information other cables can't give you. And even with more expensive amps or sources this cannot be achieved.

It need to be auditioned in your set. After this you can Judge what it does in your set. Then you can decide if it is worth the money for the upgrade.

I have proven in many blindtests that it is easier to get a higher endresult with more expensive cables compared to more expensive amps or sources.

Hearing is believing. This is what counts most. It is that simple!

"I still don't understand why you and Mapman bother to tell us your view, which many of us think is nonsense. Just enjoy your music. "

Well, at least not all then. :^)

I hear a lot of nonsense the other way as well.

There is something to be said about confronting nonsense rather than just accepting it.

I guess I'm thinking; who cares? There are plenty of scams in this world, steer clear if possible. What's the huge revelation? In audio cables there are scams? In audio cables over $50 there are scams. All audio cables are scams? Czarvey is qualified to differentiate which are scams and which are not? WTF?
Are there many audio products that are overpriced? What else is new? Let's move on...........

"I guess I'm thinking; who cares? There are plenty of scams in this world, steer clear if possible. What's the huge revelation?"

Apparently, the line between a scam and not is often not as clear in high end audio, since someone can always claim to hear something that cannot be substantiated otherwise.

So no revelations perhaps but lots of fuel for the fire of discussion.
