AXPONA: High Fidelity Cables

[amirm]

These are a bunch of nice people but dabbling in yet another cable theory, this time magnetics. They remind me of cables on scifi spaceships:

This is one CD player!

Nice music. Sorry did not write my impression of it at the suite.

I'm looking at the speakers with, what, hinged side panels?

Found something:

"Introducing the BafFLEX by HFC. Prototype open baffle design with flexible side panels allowing you to load your room differently. NO crossover - all drivers running full range. Ribbon tweeter has a Duelend cap on it. Front panel is bronze with a Ceracoat covering. The flexible side panels are ceracoated aluminum and decoupled from the front panel with a unique hinging system. Resonance control footers are Audio Points by Star Sound. Of course, our patented acoustic lens, magnetic cabling, wave guides and magnetic binding posts are all in effect."

Those magnets improve your cars gas mileage when attached to the fuel line too.

Yeh I forgot about commenting on those folded panels acting as the speaker frame. Pretty unusual.

For some reason when I see this system, I think of the movie Weird Science. Can you imagine bringing your audiophile buddies to show off your system and you have this Frankenstein mess of cables going on, WTF? If they made it look cool I might have more sympathy for them. I don't remember how this system sounded, I was too freaked out by its looks.

BTW somebody at show said he asked their guy how much for the whole system, $80k yikes Wonder what the subjectivists would say about this system? You must judge with your ears "Grasshopper", yeah whatever Golden Ear Master. Not for me but if you got the cash and can stand looking at the shiny spaghetti more power to you, I guess.
