home made speaker cable vs. the big boys

I find it interesting that so many people know things about somebody they never met! Anyway, is it possible, Mr. Ludwig's recordings are great because of his recording skills (no doubt) and his knowledge of good equipment?

Mr. Ludwig's recordings are great because he is simply one of the best at what he does and his excellence is reflected in the body of his work. The few others mentioned in this thread all share that same excellence, regardless of where they do the final mix or where the master recording is made. These people are artists in their own right. We might not know them personally but we know the body of their work and that excellence paints a true picture of their integrity as professionals.

No I do not know Bob, but I doubt he filled his studio with the equipment that came banging on the door with fist full of cash. More likely he got what HE wanted and of course recieved a discount, maybe got it free, hell maybe paid 3x retail, this could go on and on and on......

Just got off the phone with Bob. He now uses lamp cord from Home Depot, they offered him more money. JBL, Bose, and Kenwood are meeting with him next week and they are talking serious jack.
