Amazing James Randi?


The amazing Randi who has been challenging the paranormal, supernatural, and occult power's of many who claim to have these powers. He is now giving a new million dollar challenge. He Randi is challenging a very famous audio critic, for the critic to prove the claims that there is a difference in the sound of speaker audio cables. Please I am not stating that there are no sound diffence but just interested in all fellow Audiogon members if any have heard of this?

Yes, Randi has been playing this game for a couple of years now. The latest hubbub is over Mikey Fremer accepting his offer, at which point Randi backed down, claiming that the Transparent cables Mikey wanted to use where not real cables since they had network boxes on them.
That's the last I heard. I thought like Tvad, that this latest challenge was dead in the water. Not that it really matters anyway..........

Yea, that seems to fit him, love it that Fremer backed him down.
Uh, did any of you guys actually happen to read "the other side of the coin"? Shockingly, things may not be as you are painting them. This item has been going on for a while and it sure appears that Mr. Randi is not the one who backed down. It was Pear that bolted - they had absolutely nothing to gain.

James Randi has had a pretty consistent track record over the years. While this may not rank up there w/ Uri Geller and the lady who claimed she could make you urinate through the power of her mind, it's probably not going to end much differently than the Stereo Review tests, the Tom Nousaine tests, etc.
I can see why Randi objected to networked cables. Fremer wouldn't consider an alternative?
Why did Randi object to the Tara Labs The Zero? No network there. The whole debacle reeks of a school yard pissing contest.......
