$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
You dont have to resort to quoting the most extreme claims of some cable manufacturers to make your point. Not all of us that spend a fair amount on cables believes the most extreme marketing hype nor do we necessarily buy from the manufacturers t... 
Best speakers in the 50-60k range ?
If you want horns then check out Cessaro.  
Why people says SE is better PP
If you have a higher impedance speakers whose impedance doesnt dip much below nominal I dont think you can beat an OTL amp. To me efficiency is not as important as impedance. In fact 5 of use recently did a shootout using 4 different amps on a pai... 
The Science of Cables
Pretty significant difference between overly sensitive people and those with serious grievances/concerns. Tolerance has sunk to the level of absurdity and our ability to converse freely is a freedom which may soon be gone.

Well I guess someone has to say something about an earlier post and request by douglas. First let me say that I sympathize with the families of any victim of violence but I cant understand why anyone would ask that certain words and speech not be ... 
Best integrated up to $6000
Probably my Resolution Audio C50. Something inherently correct about this nimble but slightly light sounding S.S. Gets the fundamentals right, very smooth with no S.S. artifacts.  
What was your favorite musical artist best album?
Captain Beefheart Clear Spot. 2 Can fans in such a short thread. Amazing.

Jim As usual you missed my point entirely. Get with the program indeed! Put a fork in me.. 
The Science of Cables
JimYour point means nothing as the applications are different. Are you trying to tell me that NASA uses .26/ft Chinese made cable in the shuttle? Further, does NASA use the same cable throughout the shuttle regardless of application? I am sure in ... 
The Science of Cables
JimAs different cables are used for different applications I think it follows that audio cable is unique. Also please prove to me that cable manufacturers use Chinese made cable. I do believe that most cables consist of conductors made in several ... 
The Science of Cables
I would like to know which industry pros do and do not believe cables to be viable components. Further I am far more likely to seek advice from those who have auditioned a great number of cables than from those who have not. I dont know of any ent...

Jim Just cant help yourself can you? Such a penchant for hyperbole. 
The Science of Cables
Jim,As if 30 years experience in some quasi related field puts you in a better position to judge. Instead of allowing the possibility that there may be things at play that you dont understand or cant hear, you take an aggressive stance that others... 
Looking for more transparency.
Truly superior cables are not tone controls. The very best cables I have heard and now own were better in every way than their inferior predecessors. If you think that cables are tone controls you are not listening to really good cables in my opin...
