Thanks guys, all in good fun.

" This thread was really unnecessary dude. That stated, It would not matter what you did with that McIntosh equipment, it will still sound like the sub-par over priced McIntosh equipment it is. The best thing you could do is start over. You are co...

No I haven't used them.  I should have also asked if anyone has tried them. However, I do not want to be agenda driven (a fair statement). This is an example of a person (me) not being open minded and not testing the product prior to making a j... 
Is it all in my head??
If you can't pick it out with the lights out, it doesn't mater if your a scientist or "open minded" and driven by  subjectivity. It is the same result at a different cost. 
Is it all in my head??
I wonder why people with an opposing opinions are quickly labeled as trolls. Also, people who hear a "big difference" in the sound of cables, always ignore simple tests when it comes to choosing cable a from b. Any test that supports hearing the d... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
" hypotheses for how a power cable COULD affect sound"The fact remains, if you can't pick it out (on your own system) it dose not matter. Have your wife plug in the expensive cord for a day then the stock cord for a day, not telling you which is ... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
I started the placebo suggestion, and where I was going with it is, not to say there is no effect on sound. If you have noise in your system and replace the power cord and it cleans it up, a 5 year old can distinguish between the two. It's the cla...

I really did not mean their would be a loser. Just fun and perhaps some learning tied in with a good show. 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
So back and forth it goes, and nothing changes. Why not get 10 sample audiophiles who have a history of posting here and have a listening study. Location could be at an agreed on audio show so it would give us some fun things to do.Small  ante fee...

"A 2014 study published in Science Translational Medicine (Harvard medical school) explored placebo effect by testing how people reacted to migraine pain medication. The researchers discovered that the placebo was 50% as effective as the re...

Premium cable companies use science so it makes a big difference Scientist used math to "prove" gay marriage is wrong Chibuihem Amalaha used magnets to "prove" that gay marriage is wrong. North and south poles of magnets are attracted to each oth... 
McIntosh MC-2125
Most of the ones on eBay do not have the factory cartons. Yes! I ebayed a non factory boxed (mc452) about 2 years ago. Arrived with broken glass. Make sure if you do this, it is insured. On quality, I bought a new mc2500 and used it for 27 y... 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
maritime51  I don’t know if I feel sorry for her, or you.   I think blind audiophiles without a price list would have a much better sound system and plenty of money to burn elsewhere. 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
My wife is blind in both eyes. I told her she picked out the expensive cable 5 of 5 times and since its a valid double blind test we had to purchase the expensive (looking / no pun) cable. 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
All I am saying there should be some type of testing to pick out the best cable for your system other than cool factor, price, and technical jargon. Perhaps ABX testing. If I spent 10k for cables, I would want to be able to correctly distinguish t...
