EMM & AURAL SYMPHONICS V2 OPTIMISM CABLE

I don't want to start a war here, but Ed Meitner measured the AS and literally laughed at how badly they measured. I was going to audition them, but after I heard that, I passed. As for their upcoming $4,500 fiber-optic cable, the price is absolutely idiotic (what else is new for the high end?), but someone out there will no doubt buy it. I hope that one measures better than the Optimism.

Hooper, where can I find the report or interview re: Ed Meitner's comments about the AS cable.

MY MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bumbled REALLY big here. It was NOT the Aural Symphonics Ed tested. I was under the impression that it was, but it wasn't. I really need to keep my mouth shut sometimes. :) I'm actually intrigued by the AS. Maybe I can get to hear it one day. Sorry for the inflammatory comments. Time to crawl back under my rock.

Hooper, read this thread for the latest on AS. I spoke with Tommy today, and he gave me the latest info on the EMM Optimism V2.

Jjwa: I think it is ridiculous. Those I have spoke with that are experts in the field of fiber optics say it is absurd and snake oil. The comments made to me was "someone is going to take it up the ass!"

Caveat Emptor!
