I'm afraid to ask... But what are intermittent cables? I always assumed that either the cables worked, or they didn't. And when they didn't I assumed it would be quite obvious that they didn't.

Probably a bad connection that only exists part of the time, a short that only exists part of the time, or a combination. Sounds like BS to me. Especially because Abyss is fully on the cable train.

The best excuse they could come up with...

I always told my kids, the difference between a child and a grown-up, is that a child still believes excuses matter.

As I was becoming a man, someone at boarding school told me to learn the difference between reasons and excuses; i.e., most reasons are not excuses. That lesson has served me well. Even today, when I give a reason for screwing up something, I will probably note that I understand the reason is not an excuse, i.e., I know I still own the consequences.

Maybe with some Absinthe...

That stuff has seen me in some dodgy situations, but nothing as dodgy as the listening room of an Abyss dealer. "Would Sir like to try it with the extra-special cable? It makes all the diferencessssssssssssss"

Just read through all of this thread. Personally I don’t get why people get so angry. Agree or disagree with amir measurements and buy or don’t buy the abyss headphone. Amir is not forcing you either way. Personally, would I buy that headphone after Amirs measurements? No way. He’s no amateur and I fully respect his opinion. For a $3000 product no way
