...if you have only seen ten dogs in your life and all were brown, you could conclude, all dogs are brown. But to berate others who have seen red, yellow, or black dogs as insane or suggest the sun was in their eyes and therefore they should not trust what they saw is absurd. An outstanding analogy. |
The Tesla shields the signal from RFI and EMI. What they have solved is how to do that while not polluting the signal with dielectric random charges. That is a buffered electrical clean-out charge. Did I get that right? This is not reason enough to say you get what you pay for. My system being very sensitive to ill behaving insulation, I construct cables relying on air dielectric. I don't bother with shielding because I keep my cables very short. |
I am willing to concede to the winner of the Randi challenge. This is going to be very interesting. All of the endless debating at Audiogon will come to a head at the conclusion of this contest. Perhaps a lot of high end cable companies will be going broke after this scam is exposed. Or maybe naysayers, like myself, will have to reconsider the effectiveness of high end cable. Regardless, it would not be justifiable for me to spend tons of money on high end cable as I personally can not hear any difference. However, it could be conceivable that others have doglike ears and can actually tell the difference, and would be justifiable for them to invest money in high end cables. Regardless of the outcome, individuals need to hear the difference for themselves and base their investment on how much difference THEY hear and how much they can afford. Only a fool would spend all of their money on high end cable just because of the outcome of a contest, hype from a magazine, or gossip from a website. |
I am not upset but you have no idea how much a cable can contribute to the sound of a system. Switching to Synergistic Research Tesla cables was easily the single biggest and most clearly audible improvement I have ever made to a system. LM and Redwood, I believe LM might be using "Active Cables". The speaker cables need to be plugged into the wall and the shield is activated with a DC current with return on a separate ground wire. A buffer circuit is added between the Shield and ground wire. About 30 Volts DC is applied. Details are, of course, proprietary, although anyone with $3000 or so to burn could cut them open and check the circuits. Speaker cables with active power and buffer circuitry will without doubt have the potential for much greater impact to the sound than ordinary wire. No wonder it made such a big difference to LM! Far from having an ordinary brown dog or black dog, you could say LM has a white unicorn - you know something entirely different and quite rare...not even the same species as what ordinary folks would consider a dog. |
Dave Clark of Positive Feedback says of Pear Anjou Cables, way better than anything I have heard Simply put these are very danceable cables. Music playing through them results in the proverbial foot-tapping scene with the need or desire to get up and move. Great swing and pace these cables smack that right on the nose big time. Is this what he means by danceable cables? |
