And you had to click on discount for what ever reason?cheeseboy said:that's really odd that website. Just after her name it says discount for some odd reason which is a hyperlink, which takes you to some viagra page!!!CnoEvil said:I'm sure you could ring this lady and ask her. *biggrin*cheeseboy said:I would personally hazard a guess if the interview is on the cable manufacturers website that the studio couldn't really give a toss and got free cables out of it. If it's on the studios website, then I'd be more inclined to believe they believed what they said.
Either way, doesn't matter, I was just interested to know if anybody knew if they were sourced or if they were given as it were.

But yes, just a standard spiel for a manufacturers website, nothing on the skywalker sound website itself. Either way, thank you (honestly) for providing the link, much apprecaited![]()
i didn't. you can see the hyperlink at the bottom of the browser.....gasolin said:And you had to click on discount for what ever reason?
most studios post a list of equipment they use. If they honestly thought it was important enough, it would be on the list is all I am saying.ellisdj said:if MIT were paying SkyWalker it would be on the Sky Walker website
straw man. Mrs smith doesn't have a website, nor a product to sell, so it's a pretty meaningless analogy imho.ellisdj said:The other way around is the same as having mrs smith say thanks for a great job on my plumbing recommendation from a paying customer on your own plumbing website
ahh fair enough.ellisdj said:You have got that the wrong way around - I didnt explain it correctly
A plumbing company will put mrs smith comments i.e. recommendation on their website - doesnt mean she didnt pay for the plumbing work and wasnt happy with the work - it actually means she was happy enough to write the comments for them. Thats the highest praise anyone can give a recommendation
Add them to it now and they sound even bettergasolin said:so my Rothwell attenuators isn't good since i didn't mention them? *biggrin*
The link does not make any claims other than those you would expect of any respectable cable maker. Thus "They know that our materials and construction are the finest obtainable," does not actually say anything about the sound, just that the cables are well made. Isn't it odd that there are no specific claims?CnoEvil said:The only quotes I can find about the effect of cables, do come from cable websites.....so here are a few more.:

It is impossible to know the extent to which this is marketing....and may come down to whether the studio paid a premium to have "better" cables......this is impossible to know for sure, unless you were there.
There were subjective descriptions of the sound of the cables, from people who should be good at assessing what they hear (if you take their comments at face value):Leif said:The link does not make any claims other than those you would expect of any respectable cable maker.

CNo you can happily tick number 5 off your list nowCnoEvil said:There are certain rules that govern when a cable thread is over:QuestForThe13thNote said:The original question on this thread has long since been answered. Davedotco put it best in his comment.
1. It has to go round in circles for a minimum of 100 posts.
2. Someone has to use the phrase, "Night and day difference".
3. The wife (or somebody's wife) has to have heard the difference from the kitchen.
3. The sceptics have to have used the words Gullible, Audiophool, Professional Audio, Snake Oil, Placebo and ABX test.
4. There has to be a tired cliche used about Printers, Kettles or Toasters.
5. Normally, I'd say a cable thread wouldn't become official until TrevC made a contribution, but even he has given up.
6. Somebody has to be called deaf and somebody else has to wave their technical qualifications about and use the words "Science" and "Impossible".
7. The OP has to have stopped taking an interest after the 4th page, while everyone else continues to argue....and nobody can change their position.
So, on these grounds, this thread has only just become a teenager....it still has to grow a beard, loose its hair, get arthritis and die.
