Nice mains cables

[DocG]

So what are you saying DogG...?

DogG knows what he's talking about:

Thanks for that Cno! The resemblance is so striking, that I'm forced to change my avatar (with your permission)!

But what if I play Led Zepp backwards? *angel*

You get the devil himself

I thought we had established that directionality made no difference?

Won't it just sound the same?

Of course.

I'm more than happy for you to take the main(s) lead on this, especially as you look so "nice".....you do look the Dog's Bollox!

 

[CnoEvil]

Cno, I'll raise you a wolf

I fold.

The paparazzi were out and about in Brussels and caught DogG relaxing over a pint.

Doh! And I keep asking them not to publish the photos of me smoking... It's bad for my credibility as a doctor! Yeah, I'll sue 'em again!

(glad I had just wiped that white powder off my nose!)

It has to be a wind-up. 'Spread spectrum technology' - and the cable believers wonder why those with engineering backgrounds dismiss the whole cult of the cable as snake oil nonsense.

If all you disbelievers read the 5star Amazon reviews you will understand the £100k price tag on these gorgeous bits of wire. This kind of technology doesn't come cheap ya know. A serious contender for my 'Foofoo' post.

 

[Gazzip]

I only buy stuff from Amazon that is on Prime. Shame as these bad boys tick all of the boxes for me.

I like the crosstalk elimination feature - "insulation"

Wait a minute! Is it crosstalk elimination or dissipation? I'm confused now... Which would be better, you think? Elimination or dissipation?

The audiophile answer has to be eliminate? Though if it's dissipated, and remains in phase with the original but with a time delay it could add a pleasant hall reverb effect?

... and that's how it widens the soundstage! Yeah, bring it on!

They don't use expensive cables (speaker or mains) in professional recording studios where they master at very high bit rates so spending over the odds on cables for your system at home is a waste.

Agree.

Agree.

Now, I've ALWAYS had a problem with the "They don't use expensive/exotic cables in recording studios so don't bother at home" argument, because I don't think that there is any connection between the two scenarios.

1) It is the job of the professional recording studio to prepare a master and to present the consumer with a recording of that master on a portable format.

2) It is the job of the consumer (read Hifi enthusiast) to extract that recording from the portable format with minimal degradation to that recording.

Even if the master was recorded in the professional studio using bell wire interconnects and kettle flexes, the Hifi enthusiast will still want to extract as much as possible from their CD/Vinyl/FLAC recording of it, hence their tendency towards exotic "transparent" cables.

Like I say, the argument that they weren't used to produce the recording so why bother to use them when extracting the recording doesn't make any sense.

As it goes I am sceptical about mains cables myself. I don't however think this often used example used to poo-poo the use of them holds any water whatsoever.
