Cables more hype than value?

These forums are a great place to learn but one needs an OPEN mind. It's possible rok2id upgraded from his Yugo with a new perspective?

I'm not afraid Audiolab, there IS something seriously wrong with the cable haters. Are they hard of hearing or do they not have system enough to discerned cable differences? Are they buying into their own hype? Why has this become such an issue for some? I can't believe some of the stuff I've been reading and do not understand the inability to judge differences in interconnect and speaker cable.

Maybe the cable haters really don't belong on audio forums jmcgrogan2? That would be a better topic.

Folks, cabling plays a huge role in all live performances, in all sound recording, in all sound reproduction, and therfore in ALL of our sound systems. There is no question it has an effect on what we hear.

@ knghifi and waxwaves,I agree knghifi,hopefully rok2id did get a new perspective,,waxwaves,I could not have made a better post 3-7-13 myself!,you hit the nail on the head!very good explanation!you have my best respects!,As a matter of fact,one of us should start a new thread saying what jmcgrogan2 recommended!,I would be there everyday!,we may be able to teach cable hatters about cables!cheers!

I just sold a set of Nordost Heimdalls and a set of Blue Heaven IC's. They sounded great in my system, and I was going to upgrade to Tyr, Valhallas, or Odins. Instead, I am waiting on Linn IC's since I've always had good luck with them. I have to use Monster cables while waiting for the Linns to arrive. Guess what...my system still sounds fantastic. I would have kicked myself paying the kind of money to get the Nordosts, however their powercords and QB4 distribution box did make a difference for the better, so I guess it really matters what type of system one has.

Waxwaves, some folks just enjoy a good argument.

There are people out there who simply enjoy taking a contrary view in life. I've found folks out there like that. No matter what you say, they will take the opposite stance.

This one guy I'll never forget, he used to track me down and try to befriend me. Everything we talked about turned into an argument. His named was Richard, but he enjoyed being called "Dick", which he was, and revealed in the glow. I did my best to avoid him, but I also noticed he was like this with everyone else he met too, it wasn't just me.

Then I realized that some folks just enjoy being agitators in life, it's how they have their *fun*. It's a crazy world we live in.
