Cables more hype than value?

OK, I'll play a little longer; ten minutes left in my Lifecycle workout (my Agon posting time).

****And how, pray tell, did you come to that conclusion? And what 'stuff' are you referring to?****

A couple of clues:

1.You, actually, have pretty good taste in music. So, not all is lost. There's hope. :-) Anybody who likes Sarah Vaughn the way that you do can't be all bad. That's the good news.

2. The bad news: You demonstrate a pattern of making provocative statements and misrepresenting or misinterpreting what others say (write). Then, when it is pointed out to you, you completely (conveniently) overlook it and move on to your next provocative comment. This has happened several times in this thread, including this most recent exchange. You are too transparent in this respect for there to be true passion about all this "stuff" (the subject at hand, if you have to ask).

BTW, Sarah Vaughn's "Brazilian Romance" is a gem. Pretty good sound, too. But, a little bight; nothing a vintage MIT cable couldn't fix ;-)

To All:
I just dropped by to give a shout out to Irvrobinson. Frogman then addressed a post to me, and I answered. Thats just common courtesy. But I am finished with the so called 'debate' on wire. I have found that after things like this are over, I just feel bad.

I think the people of this entire site are some of the nicest people you will find anywhere. Smart, educated , well read and seem to have done well in life. A good bunch.

I was looking for an Academic debate, but we could not get away from stereo systems, money and personal opinions.

But, as Nonoise alluded, it ain't that important. I am PASSOINATE about MUSIC. That's it. The gear is just a means to an end. I wish we didn't need it. I would love to walk into my house and say, "COMPUTER! Beethoven's 5th". Just like on Star Trek. :) Maybe I'll see that before I go.

If I have offended anyone, it was not intentional. Just love to spar.

Now, I am finished with wire!!

Cheers.

Rok, I agree completely; and you, perhaps inadvertently, made my point. The problem with attempts to discuss these things is that "academic" and "music" are as diametrically opposed as just about anything. In fact, "academic" is an adjective used by musicians to describe "music" that is dry, soul-less, boring... The two don't mix.

Acrimony? No way! Wire is not important enough to merit acrimony in my book. Now, anybody that tells me that "Sassy" can't sing.... That's cause for acrimony.

Peace.

"Now, anybody that tells me that "Sassy" can't sing."

Now who could be clueless!!!
Cheers

For the same reason it matters to the believers......
So you'll have something to argue about.
