Wow calm down there Mnyb, high end audio equipment is still being designed by highly qualified and very competent individuals. Not sure about all cables but many of the high priced cables are quite well made even if one doesn't agree with their high cost. Sure some people get carried away with tweaking and trying to squeeze that last ounce of performance from their stereo system but they by no means make up the majority of the high end audio buyers. I'm sure pretty that if we set up a poll we would that a majority of the members do not believe a lot of these audio myths, oh wait we can't do polls on this forum so I guess it can never really be proven which then makes it 100% true simply by believing it, based on audiophile approved out of the box thinking. God, I just love being an audiophile. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92918 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
