The late John Dunlavy made speakers that are so well performing they broke all classifications in Stereophile, Class A+ was actually created solely when Dunlavy Model VI was reviewed, it was better than anything at that point in time... What cables did he use in his speakers? He spent thousand of hours to get the products as well performing as possible He used simple, very cheap cables, because he could not hear any difference between the cables he used and some very expensive ones. When, possibly, the best speaker designer in our time (Sorry Richard Vandersteen, Sorry Jum Thiel) used dirt cheap cables in his speakers, then what's the point of doing differently in our rig.... pski;279803 Wrote: > Never heard an argument in favor of expensive cables that involved > physics. I've read in an ad for a very well known cable manufacturer that they test their cables to withstand something like 1200 degrees Fahrenheit, why would that be useful to domestic usage? I think this argument tops the BS list..... -- haraldo Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop / SC7 -> SB3 -> Benchmark DAC1 -> Krell KAV400xi -> Meadowlark Kestrel2 / Duntech PCL-15 Everything is difficult before it's easy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44124 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
