why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Oh and cleeds, elizabeth, geoff, et al, I give you my permission - although not my blessing - to spend as much as you like on expensive cables, if you're among those who "feel the need" to. :)

@cleeds It's obvious - to me anyway - you haven't understood my previous posts in this regard, or you wouldn't ask the question(s) that you do. Carry on....

^ Only thing phony comes from those who state they can do the impossible. Audibly detecting with the naked ear a difference when ordinary speaker wire is reversed falls in to the category of impossible.

elizabeth - .... there could be a difference and a possible measurement no one has found yet? I personally am not saying there is. But no one can say with absolute certainty(with the current state of the art) that there is NOT....I’m saying with a...

elizabeth - All drawn wire is drawn in one direction. Not two.But that doesn’t make the wire directional from an electrical conductivity perspective. 
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies

Looks like gdhal is playing his silly little game again. Trolling for dollars with fake blind test scam.On the contrary. It looks like certain members create more than one user id. 😎EDIT:And Geoff, of course you could simply admit you’re wrong. Th...

@strongarmWhat I stated is untrue is Geoff's statement that all manufactured wire is directional.Note the operative word *all*. If you still believe my statement is untrue, perhaps you and I can prove it together offline. 
What position is your balance control set at and why?
Kept centered "exactly perfect". As to why, my amp doesn't have a balance control. Even if it did, I sit dead center to the speakers so wouldn't make use of it anyway. I also believe my hearing is essentially the same in both ears. I'm unable to a...

I still find they are better sounding than a copy "from them" to any other format. Hi George. Not meaning to play on words here, but personally I draw a distinction between a "copy" and a "rip". As I mentioned in my 03-26-2018 1:14pm post, a copy ...

@georgehifi Regarding not proving anything, in this case I’ll agree with @geoffkait . Geoff, I’ve read a number of your posts the last few days. Seems you’ve taken what I’ve indicated elsewhere to heart :) George, to your point about CD failure ve...
