I was able to beta test a cable for new company Wywires and I must say the improvement is astounding. Music sounds much clearer, more defined without being to analytical.
I'm using a "Hot Sauce" line in cable and the sonic improvement was immediate
and only improved over the course of 50ish hours. The company is new and launching in July so you might want to check them out. I don't work for them
or have any affiliation, just an extremely happy end user.
They offer a 60-day money back guarantee if you don't like the improvement...I have yet to read one bad review or opinion from any other beta tester used.
Just wanted to spread the word...;)

Wow, is right. :eek::rolleyes:
The speaker wires only go for $1,700 to $3,700.
Of course shipping is extra.
But..hey...if they... "produce stronger textures and leading edges" like the web site says...I guess it's worth it...?:confused:

Hold on, boys. Maybe we're being too hasty here.

From post #7 in this thread.

"I have a SONY STR DH800....it has 4 HDMI in's, 100 watts X 7 can BI-amp and also does auto calibration via the included mic. I run a 5.1 system with two sets of front speakers, this thing has power to spare. I run a PS3, Blu-ray, HD cable box and have one spare HDMI port to fill....probably a Boxee Box when they come out. Most decent receivers offer the auto cal. thing so its not exclusive and it really helps to just be able to sit down with the cal. mic-push a button and all levels and measurements are made and input-it gives you a great baseline to start from. If you game as I do and watch blu-rays the auto cal thing is huge....just my thoughts."

If one can hear such detail from such a mediocre receiver, maybe he's on to something...

Maybe it does make sense to spend about 10 - 20x what you spend on the receiver on cables. While we're at it, screw source and speakers too. Put it all in cables.

I looked up other threads by this user as well and saw that thread. Who exactly would let someone with a Sony receiver test multi-thousand dollar cables in their system?

Somebody who wants free publicity on public forums? Give somebody a freebie and he takes it from there.

It really makes one wonder exactly how much it costs to manufacture these thingies, doesn't it?

Yep. I didn't say anything about whether or not these cables are worth thousands of dollars, only that this is what they are charging for them :)

you should join club polk, that's the place for audiowitchings and all sorts of speaker cable wizardy. they will teach you how to summon even order harmonic distortion and how to sacrifice animals to the odd-order harmonic god so he will not strike you.

My GF heard me laughing and I showed her this thread, she then comments, "I already have a good use for em if you ever spend that much money on that crap, I'd use em to hang you by the tree in the back yard. " I thought she had a good point.

The fact that somebody this brain dead would try and post something like this here shows that stupidity still runs deep in this society. This type of crapola is better suited to the readers of Stereophile, who still firmly believe that multi thousand dollar cables give you better performance.

I was at Fry's the other day and the idiot salesmen was trying to sell me on Monster HDMI because they are better, when I told him I can get just as comparable cables online for 4.00 he reponds that Monster is the best (the usual I've been trained to say this speal) when I told him it's a digital signal and it will either work or it wont and has been tested many times by reputable sources like Consumer Reports that a 4.00 cable does no better or worse than 200.00 cables. he shut up and walked away. :rolleyes:

I call em sheeple for a reason. guess that's why Bose is still in business.

The electrical differences between HDMI cables typically only matter for excessively lengthy runs. I really miss going to Best Buy and flaunting my knowledge around the kids that work there.

You should have asked him to demonstrate its capability, and if you could swap the cable to see if he can guess correctly.;):D
