This audio cable business is getting out of hand...

[Plcamp]

You do understand that FRC is a clever parody?

I am the one that criticized their cables previously for not implementing entangled copper molecules so your speakers sound faster.

I noticed today there is a private Facebook group dedicated to exotic cable lovers with over 5,000 members.

I can't believe they missed something so obvious.

So fast, they're the only cables certified to play McClintic Sphere's canon of recordings.

(If this reference is too abstruse, I guess you'll just have to read Thomas Pynchon's debut novel, V -- which I would suggest would be a better way to spend time than thinking about, much less arguing about, fancy wires )

Quantum entangled wireless speakers sounds like a new niche... No pun intended (but...)

"Dear audiophiles. I must tell you something. You all live with the idea that rsa and sha-256 are unbreakable in practice. Lisent to me, don't trust that bullshit. They say that the time it takes to break such algorithms is too large to matter. Really? How does then the NSA do it? Trust me, the only way to ensure your music is only yours is quantum entanglement".

I genuinely believe these audiophiles are just addicted to buying new toys; don't they understand that a music lover will stay glued to his favourite piece of music even if it's coming from a gramophone.

I have excellent sounding records and SACDs. However, my favourite album is B.B. King Live in Cook County Jail, with its pops, hisses and background noises. At the same time, an audiophile seldom enjoys the music, even if played on a £150,000 hi-fi.

Audiophool - someone who uses music to listen to expensive HiFi, Audiophile - someone who use expensive HiFi to listen to music

In my opinion, an audiofool is a non-technical, non-musical individual who imagines stupid things about audio equipment.

And an audiophile is a person who spends fortunes on the wrong things, which are the high-profit-margin and well-advertised items like cables, magic stones, power conditioners, power cables, connectors, resistors, and just about everything that has almost nothing to do with the quality of reproduced music

That’s nothing. My diamond-encrusted, copper-beryllium speaker wire plays Chopin’s Minute Waltz in 47 seconds.

Not zircon encrusted?

Could I be mistaken or has wire directionality not raised it’s ugly head on this thread?

Pretty sure it has, more than once. Interestingly enough, on a FB turntable group I'm part of there was a post yesterday regarding a young enthusiast who had just read some audiophool's nonsense about solid core, directional wire "sounding better" and he was going to replace his speaker wires because of it. I couldn't help but comment.

 

[Geoffkait]

If one were determined as a manufacturer he would control the direction of each tiny wire strand of stranded cables. Controlling the direction of solid core wire is child’s play. Next up, are power cords directional, too?

Of course they are. Current flow is always away from the wall socket.

(Yes, I know.)

This one isn't.

8' speaker cables...$29,995.00! Such a deal! Saw these in this months Stereophile magazine.

 

[Geoffkait]

“Current flow is always away from the wall socket.”

Well, half the time, anyway. You get partial credit.

 

[Geoffkait]

Mansr, they obviously put the connectors on the wrong ends.

 

[egellings]

8' speaker cables for only 30 grand? It's a steal! Get a coupla pair for the kids, too.
