The Fine Art of Doing Nothing By Roger Skoff


Roger Skoff just posted an article titled, The Fine Art of Doing Nothing." Here's the link:

I pass this along because Mr. Skoff speaks to many points that I, Al (Almarg), Roy Johnson (GMA) and others have been talking about.

For starters, in the controversial area of I/C and speaker cables, Mr. Skoff asserts, with some credibility IMO, that try as hard as one may, making so called perfect cables that "do nothing" is an exercise in futility. Ergo my experiment in testing 10 gauge solid core Romex wire. Been trying to find some cheap wire.

The same goes to speakers and other components. Btw, Mr. Skoff tips his "do nothing" hat to 1st order cross speakers. He implies that they "do less" than highly rigged gizmos.

I suspect that Mr. Skoff would scoff (pun intended) at my interest in the DEQX. As much as I hope it will correct my time incoherent speakers, the device may "do something" else.

Enjoy the read.

good luck Bifwynne for the DEQX visit! :-) hope you have a solid story cooked up for their visit....

LOL on your comments re. Roy's speakers. You could get one of this stand-mounts + his passive woofer if you don't like his floor-standers. A lot of people do that, just FYI.
Bifwynne, good luck with your DEQX visit. As I mentioned elsewhere, DEQX has been transformative for my system. Please post your thoughts if the audition happens.
Very curious ... I'm waiting, been waiting. Called the national sale rep, who gave my name and cell number to the local dealer. If I don't hear by Monday, next week, I'll reach out again.
