skonopa Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Okay, I figure it would be a good time to stir up a little controversy here, since things seem to be a bit slow around here. I saw this article on the Enjoy The Music website. It appears to be some device for "breaking in" cables. The guy writing the article swears he heard a huge improvement after "cooking" all of his wires and cables. Personally, I think it is a bunch of bull$#!+, but then again, that is just me. I can think of better things to spend $650+ on. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Agreed. I'd rather cook my cables the ol' fashioned way, through my audio gear, slow simmering for 72 to 100 hours at 80 degrees! It's alot cheaper too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Yeah, uhm, yeah. Since you wanted to "stir up some controversy" I'll help. I think the cable market is a joke. I read reviews all the time that sound like this: "When I switched from A to B I noticed a much wider soundstage, bass response was greatly improved and the fatiguing effects of A were gone allowing me to listen all day at 130db with no noticable detriment in sound quality..." Are they talking about an amp or preprocessor or different set of speakers? Nope they are talking about all things equal other than RCA interconnects. Its copper(or at least it ought to be). Copper is good! Its one of the most conductive materials, good ole copper. I go into audio stores that try to sell me PMC or B&W speakers, saying "You know, a lot of the world's classical music was mastered on a pair of 801s just like this" or "A lot of movie soundtracks are mastered on PMC speakers just like this". What they fail to mention is that the film was probably filmed, and/or the audio was probably mastered using teflon coated copper cables made by the likes of Belden on not Kimber. Just regular copper. Not "oxygen free silver coated" copper. What the hell is the point using some laboratory Frankenstein's Monster cables when the original sound was likely mastered on something else? I could be wrong. I'm just a silly newbie in his late 20s who hasn't owned Khorns for 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
