Cable confession

[stratman]

You sure that's fair? I only had to write 200 words when I bought my Servo-15.

You got away with murder, some advice...keep quiet about that!

I am ashamed to admit that if I was rich I'd probably buy Nordost Vhallhalla, too. They just look so freakin' cool, and it would be fun to see people sputter and stammer when I told 'em what they cost!

Even WmAx would purchase full set of Nordost Valhalla, if he were a filthy rich man, and the amount of the cable was insignificant in ratio to available funds. It is the prettiest cable I have ever seen.

That...

...Nordost link is a hoot-and-a-half...

Imagine, new cables take on a charge in the production process, but your dealer can now subject them to a 120hr VIDAR "burn-in" to clear that up...of course they then need to be reconditioned every six months thereafter for optimum performance...

$1800!

For $1800 I could get a brand new Onkyo 705 or 805 (even paying full retail), a new Oppo 981 dvd player, all new Blue Jeans cables for the entire system, AND still have money left over to buy a few dozen new DVDs and CDs.

I guess my perspective is slightly different. You won''t catch me paying that kind of money for a wire.

I particularly love the fact that they trumpet their scientific credentials, complaining about the pseudo-science spouted by other cable manufacturers.
Si

Isn't that like saying not all psychics are for real, only some of them?

Or, pay a real penalty, 2X.

So, I have to ask the OP...

Do you own a diamond-studded, solid-platinum toilet?

I mean, why not, eh?

Toss in $50 bills to wipe your arse with and the circle is complete.

I did something along the lines of that in fact...just got a Denon rather than the Onkyo. I just wish I was related to someone who can justify spending that kind of money on wires imagine how much would be spent on speakers!

Didnt you read the OP; he put the Nordost Heimdall speaker cable on his BOSE LIFESTYLE.


LOL...couldnt help it...

Yes indeed. My dealer is adamant that the cable cooker makes a huge difference. It's in great demand.

I probably wouldn't do myself any good at this point by confessing that, to my ears, they changed a little over for the first few days. Again I'll cheerfully admit it's all in my head, but isn't the power of suggestion an amazing thing?

I guess I deserve that!

If it makes you feel any better, and if it does anything to claw back some cred here, I did at least spend a similar amount on room treatments, with more planned in due course...

Guys, can we still be friends?? PLEEEASE!!!!!!

Joking aside, in the Heimdall range they introduced the "iKable", to be used to connect one's iPod to one's hifi.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I hope you know we are just having fun at your expense. Those are some bad mo-fo speaker wires...

Absolutely!!

After all, if I couldn't take that heat I'd never have posted this news in the first place. There are plenty of other forums (fora?) that would gobble this info up with delight. I was more interested in seeing the reaction here because this site is the one that tallies the most with my own views.

The thing is, I'm still glad I bought them. Maybe I should spend my money on a shrink instead of cables.

And I thought I was going to go all out and buy a HTiB from Wally World and make sure it sounds good with those cables...

He one up-ed me and got Blose...

 

[darien87]

Dude, you're reading all the wrong magazines...

Si

Yeah, I don't come across too many stereo review articles in the porn section.

By the way, I'm still waiting for those adoption proceedings to start.

I am not sure the ink on those bills are safe for that purpose. I would prefer soft seats though and no diamonds where they might scratch me.

Of course. We are friends here and like to have a roasting party every now and then

I don't know about that. They would stretch out the sessions and in the end you'd be at the same place, minus the fees. At least the cables work and you use it whenever it is on.

Now hang on. I know I've just spend a ludicrous amount on cables, but don't tell me that in this internet age you're PAYING for porn in magazines? You're more in need of adoption than I thought. The papers will be with you shortly.

You wouldn't like the new thong I just bought, then. I'll never understand why they put the diamonds on the inside.

Yep, these are truly excellent cables. They carry current all the way from my power amp to my speakers, I can't fault them.

Boy, y u sure like poking a hornet's nest, doncha?

Of course, when I put them into my system I thought I heard a difference, but I'm absolutely willing to accept that such a difference would disappear under controlled testing, and is all in my head. The thing is, for some reason I don't care. I sleep easier in my bed knowing I have them, and it's not just for bragging rights.

No objections here. You acknowledge the fact that just knowing that you have these in play might influence your perception is a very well-reasoned scenario. Sometimes, the brain can provide it's own justification and, if it feels good, go ahead and enjoy.

Now, had you come off using such terminology like "night and day difference" or "my wife could hear the difference from the driveway" I might take issue.

But, I gotta say, that jewel-encrusted toilet seat sounds simply painful.
