Outbudgeting your debate oponent always works.jimmy1 said:I've just had a look at the prices bit rich for me, and my basic setup i think it would be overkill to be fair, a DAC with phono outputs rather than a 3.5mm output will be my next purchase with some decent ish interconnects.

YOUR POORMAN'S SYSTEM WILL NEVER REVEAL THE ANGEL FARTS HIDDEN IN MUSIC MADE BY ANCIENT ALIENS LIKE BOB CLEARMOUNTAIN WHO MIXED THEM ON GARBAGE YAMAHA NS10 WITH SNOT PAPER ON THE TWEETER!
You cant be referring to an audiophile - who else uses them?Vladimir said:Some perfectly sane and reasonable ppl use them so go figure.

Audio-grade ABS resin? W.T.F. is that? ABS is just a durable form of polystyrene. It costs twice as much as polystyrene to manufacture however, so these £320 beauties probably cost about 4 pence each to make instead of 2 pence. I'm also enjoying those two polished stainless steel aerials which are either side of the cable mounting. Brilliant!ellisdj said:These are the Bad Boys to try

- Net weight: Base level 580 mm / extended level 630 mm approx.
Even though ABS plastics are used largely for mechanical purposes, they also have electrical properties that are fairly constant over a wide range of frequencies. These properties are little affected by temperature and atmospheric humidity in the acceptable operating range of temperatures.
ABS simply has those properties as a material. There is no such thing as "audio-grade ABS resin".Vladimir said:Audio-grade means nonmagnetic, nonconductive and nonpiezoelectric.

Furutech are not, as implied, employing a hi-end version of the material, they are just using a cheap and stable material, sold at a high price.
*biggrin* My line not to cross may be thin and broken in places, but it's drawn thick and bold at £320 cable lifters.ellisdj said:Furutech make the best connectors - they are the daddys - if any cable lifters are going to work it will be Furutechs
Gazzip when are you getting some..

So do my faeces, but I wouldn't use little piles of that to rest my cables on either.Vladimir said:I forgot nonstatic and vibration resistant with self-dampening characteristics.Gazzip said:ABS simply has those properties as a material.
