He did reply yesterday #37.Nah, look at the threads Bigus has started on AVS....completely different. Unless its his alter ego of sorts....
What happened to our bigus, a hit and run with this and the "3-way" speaker thread?
I did miss that, thanks. @bigus still has a very flawed testing method and has likely read too much sales bs on the subject to start with. Maybe should review the former McIntosh designer's wire page http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htmHe did reply yesterday #37.

Thanks for confirming your sighted, biased method....
My testing method is listen to some music, change the cord and listen some more.
I know my system, I know the songs and I know how they sound with the current cables.

You can compare the specified inductance and capacitance to some BJC wire measured here. From what I'm seeing, the White Lightning is a 16AWG cable, so resistance will be quite a bit higher than the 10AWG BJC wire. Inductance of the Nordost is a bit higher, but capacitance is lower.Can we see a review or comparison to Blue Jeans cable?
What is the rest of your gear? 3-way speakers in a 2.0 system I can glean from your other thread, but what is the whole setup?I've never posted at AVS.

I'm not sure what testing method you use.
If I like a cable I will buy it. If I don't, then back it goes and I'm not out any money.
I just happened to buy the Nordost because I liked them. I think they are excellent cables.
The owner of the shop I bought my cables from did not tell me what to expect or try to sell me on the cables.
I did the research very carefully online and went in to ask him if he would lend me a demo set.
He said sure and off I went.
Have you ever went into an audio store and listened to a setup and say " damn I wish my system sounded that good"?
That's where I want to be and I think decent cables are a big part of that.
I feel I'm closer by upgrading my cables.
Did you even check the post #19 ?I've never posted at AVS.

Decent cables, yes. Blue Jeans Cable are good quality at a fair price, not cheap. Broadcast quality, what more could you ask for?I've never posted at AVS.

I spent more on room acoustic setup than I care to admit.What is the rest of your gear? 3-way speakers in a 2.0 system I can glean from your other thread, but what is the whole setup?
Cables are more important to you than speakers/room acoustics? Why on earth would you think there is some improvement in wire? Wire has been around for a long time, no magic there except in the basic electronic aspects. I don't go into audio stores. My system sounds awesome. I use subs and 2 and 2.5 way speakers, too. Nordost just strikes me as a cable charlatan....if they seem sane to you then go ahead and buy their stuff!
I didn't expect the wire to make a difference at all.Two ch or twenty ch its just gear. So why do you expect wire to be different? Just spending money on it and reading silly reviews and marketing info and whatnot?
I started out like everyone else. The best interconnects from pre to amp before my recent cables were Energy digital coax. Directional 75 ohm cables.So you had some really crappy stuff in the first place? I'm just not understanding how there could be an audible difference otherwise.
What is a low end cord? How does it differ from the fairy dust Nordost sells?I started out like everyone else. The best interconnects from pre to amp before my recent cables were Energy digital coax. Directional 75 ohm cables.
The biggest difference I notice is sibilance in the low end cords.
Low end is what you make it...........What do you mean by directional......What is a low end cord? How does it differ from the fairy dust Nordost sells?
ps What do you mean by directional?
Absolute nonsense..... Directional 75 ohm cables.
