We like to rant, but rarely does a rant result in some pretty productive "put your money where you mouth is" results as it did this week. Dave Clark, Editor of now-disgraced audio review publication Positive Feedback Online described, in his recent review, a $7,250 pair of ANJOU speaker cables as being "... way better than anything I have heard..." He then, in a not-so-rare example of audiophile thesaurus-crunching loquacity, "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."

I'm using straightened clothes' hangers for my cables
Ha, i thought I was the only one. To prove my point to a friend of mine that digital audio cables really don't matter much, I hooked up my DVD's digital out to my reciever using a clothes hanger. It worked perfectly.
I like it when "psychics" or "mediums" say they won't take the challenge because they aren't in it for the money...which is typically demonstrably false, but even if these people truly are deluded and think themselves above such matters, then give the money to charity, already!

He stil thinks optical sounds better though.
You really did do this experiment?
A number of years ago there was a web page of another similar test with measurements of errors that turned out to be zero.
I don't know if you would want to use that for speaker cables though too chancy for a short.

Of course Sylvia is not in it for the money She only charges $700 or so for a 1/2 hour session, and her son is following suit but at a reduced rate, for now.
But, people seem to pay.
I use string, I find it imparts a "silky" feel to the highs, like a pinot noir, and of course the "chocolaty" mids can't be duplicated any other way, spider webbing wrapped around the string improves low bottom response, almost guttural in feel down to 25 megagiga hertz, of course I also place specially quarried pieces of granite on top of my DVD to cut down on ambient magnetic interference generated in the cave, it also works on the magic and wondrous device called a p-l-a-s-m-a, you know that strange magic like piece of glass with all those little magic creatures dancing inside, how do they get in there?
