I second this, this article is stupidly argued, unscientific and omits any relevant details. While I believe that many cables have equal performance, and that some cable manufacturers should be accused of fraudulent practices, there is no way any audiophile I know could deny the importance of them (expensive or not, high performance or not). Spetz Anti-Cables are argued mainly through the lightness of their dielectric material, which is of extreme importance for conduction purposes, now, a Coat hanger? normally made of cheap steel and with black paint as dielectric... People are so eager to read stupid arguments that they believe without questioning them making them more stupid, turning a joke into a truth... and this lack of critical stance on everything is what precisely makes our world so [EMAIL PROTECTED] up. -- GuyDebord Reference3A RoyalMaster monitors biwired with van den Hul Inspiration, REL Strata5.
