Just read this from Transparent Audio cable advertising copy,
Transparent Audio writes: "Did you know that upgrading cables and power conditioning in your system can make as much or more of an improvement in your system’s real musicality than upgrading other components like amplifiers and speakers? In fact, improving your audio cabling using our level-matched system approach will more fully reveal any equipment upgrades you may do in the future."

I just didn’t know that and I thought it worth sharing …

Apropos nothing in particular a poster on another forum wrote this reply to my assertion that loudspeakers were transducers and thus characterised etc etc
’ At what point did measuring well = transparent? More dealer bollox.’

I am going to make that my new signature.

Looks like Transparent Audio just makes cables. There's an old saying, if you only own a hammer, every job is a nail.

Geez they could have at least spelt bollocks correctly too... that looks like some kind of hybrid botox for bollocks. o_O

I found it amusing but it does all too clearly show the lack of very basic understanding that allows charlatans to flourish.

I find thing like this amusing for the simple reason, you walk into a room full of bling to see zero in the way of acoustic treatment.
Cables and maintainers along with a simple understanding of cables and AC power supply will make short work of any issue.
Money has never been a substitute for thinking and making a decision based on facts not fiction.

I like bling, I just don't like paying for it in the form of BS marketing phrases vs a heavy piece of US BTU burning Aluminum.
I want tangible weight and a product. Not words that sounding almost Shakespearean. I'm a common man. It has to make
sense.

Time to feed the chickens in the rain.

As long as unscrupulous people can reap a small fortune for every snake oil product sold, it will continue.
