—hahahhh!!! as in those 20 thousand dollar cables.—

On AudioKarma you can get banned for dissing that kind of stuff.

I’m dead serious. :-|

It’s hilarious, frankly. They actually sell expensive little devices designed to lift your speaker wires off the floor to prevent acoustic frequency interference with the signal on the wires. And some of those nitwits there swear by this kind of crap.

Funny, isn't it...?

Whenever I need speaker wire I go Home Depot or an electrical parts counter and buy #12 or #14 awg lamp cord by the foot. If the capacitance of such wire manages to roll off frequencies above 18K by 1 dB....I really don't give a damn.

haven’t had a chance to check the mancave on youtube yet..

I believe those Monster cable, and expensive audio cables were debunked by James Randi and many others.. I just did a google search on it, and many audiophiles are still up in arms about Randi.. It seems they have to feel that their $20,000 audio cables were worth every penny.

more power to those folks though, if they’ve got the money and they feel those 20k cables have value, then I’m all for them spending their money where they want.

I guess that’s half the reason I frequent FR, I believe in liberty. We have the choice to make our own decisions, at least for now, and only partially.
