Precisely the reason of the review. Many reasons to buy cables and some like a preference is not really testable

Yes, that was my point

Sum things up

Well, i'll try to sum up this debate. This is my opinion. Basically, there is a market for exotic speaker cables. There are some good reasons why such a speaker cable would be purchased: ease of use, cosmetics, and durability.

But for most cost-conscience people, whose main concern is having a reasonably good sounding system for a reasonable cost, the money is probably better served by putting it towards better speakers or room treatments.

So, in the end, the average person is better off with something like this:

Fair enough (and well put), and in that vein I never would have spent the $300 asking price for the Z3 cable, but for $75 I got a very well made, attractive cable that is well shielded, which for my particular application is a real world plus. I’m happy with my purchase, I believe I got a very good cable at a very good price, and in the end that’s what matters most.

12tc

Interestingly to know how these are different versus 12TC advertized on your website...

BTW, "Kosherization" is really a certain process and not just giving out some crappy paper certificate FYI -- unlike "snake oil"

 

[foeth]

Please elaborate

 

[bandphan]

Please elaborate

isn't it the process of the Rabbi blessing the food, and the way its handled prior to the faiths consumption

Kosherization

The meat is prepared is a special way (I mean.. on the factory), not just not mixing milk & meat.. bla bla.. Also, there are different levels...

think like HDMI Category 1 and HDMI Category 2 )

It is not "blessing", if certain conditions are hold, a certificate is issued.. which is also time-limited

anyway, comparing to snake oil products to me, being very, very secular, I think is irrelevant

 

[foeth]

I see. You meant ritual, not process.

I don't know what I meant, I just like Hebrew National hot hogs
