One way to make expensive speaker cables!

[sam9]

If I read that correctly, it has the "virtue" that it won't use up a lot of batteries.

Yeah it was me that posted that thread (linkt) on A.A. However it wasn't me who took the boxes apart. I came across that link on a Swedish forum as stated. Interesting how issues like this spread all across the globe Wonder whats inside the Transparent Opus cables.
Me, I settled with some Zu Cable speaker cables. Probably the first pair that arrived in Norway.

Best Regards

Yeah. Just finsied reading it earlier. Quite a lot of BS in Bill Low's reply. He demonstrated he really hasn't a clue what a dielectric is when he said "The technical specifications permittivity and permeability describe these dielectric paramters."

but what matters to his client base is that he was able to put a lot of irrelevant and unrelated techno jargons together in a fully meaningless and completely incomprehensive sentence.

That has got to make the cable and the rest of the system sound great, right?

At least the two forum volunteers on the cable directionality experiment are now nowhere to be found on those subjects, .

It tells you how fragile those "golden ear types" are when their super nature claims are put to a real test.

The Auidiophile Pricetag^®: You owe it to yourself.

Seems like even more effective than Audiophile Pricetag, is the person promoting the product

Personally, I would be more influenced by Vin Diesel. Fabio's hair is soooo retro.

Damn you Peter. I'll never be able to listen to these cables again.

Well, at least they didn't deny that they couldn't hear a difference.
Give 'em credit for that.

I do seem to detect a lot less aggression from people that claim to hear minute changes to components than before - Or am I just imagining the change?

"I do seem to detect a lot less aggression from people that claim to hear minute changes to components than before - Or am I just imagining the change?"

Maybe it's just going out of fashion along with some other "New Age" stuff. That's retreated a bit in the last couple of years - the only time anyone comments on my aura or asks my sign anymore is when I take the wrong freeway exit and land in Berkeley.

You are not imagining. I am trying hard to do my best and treat the disabled with the most respect i can even if this attitude meets little appreciation. They are certainly human beings, capable of giving a lot, though probably not in the field of audio.

What do you call 'minute' changes btw?

Did you know that MIT filed a patent for the "zobel on cable" ... and could get it through!!!

It should be void now though, as that was years ago. Though I doubt they sued anyone using such a thing as commercial product competing with theirs. They probably filed it just to have a number...

Lately, a Kimber associate also could get through a patent on series crossovers. Are the patent inspectors (or whatever they are called) blind on what's popular knowledge and what's not?
