In Reply to: Anti-Cables, for speakers? posted by Norris Wilson on June 10, 2005 at 05:07:04:
I want to thank you for your input and opinions.
I for one cannot afford expensive toys, especially speaker wire.
So, my inquiry was more looking for opinions of these cables based on others experiences in using them.
I do in fact believe that cables and interconnects can make an audilble difference in the signal that it is transfering.
Obviously, there are many physical and electrical properties at work in every item used in an audio reprodution system. These principles can be manipulated in various ways.
Many people believe that wire has similar effects as an LC filter, ie, tone control.
Akhilesh, I have not seen the published specifications as you describe.
Manualblock, I have to agree with the basis of your comments.
Mr Vinyl, I have heard many significant differences made in the signal played through various cables, some good, some bad.
But, as usual, these changes are system dependant. Everyone precieves things differently, so personality can come into play when forming an opinion.
The rediculously over priced wires are more for the rich crowd that has the means to obtainem them.
I know that many of the high priced cables are excellent in their task, like the Nordost Vahalla. But I feel some of the pricing schemes are based more on the idea of the product in question having the ability to transfer the owner to another state of musical conciousness, or just an exercize in ego inflation.
I think there is point of demenishing returns of price versus performance in any product.
Some times people take things to seriously, and audio is one of them.
Audio is fun and I encourage evereyone to obtain their enjoyment in the way that suits them best. They can obtain this enjoyment, either by using the bang for the buck, or the cost no object products. It is each individuals choice limited by their bank account, common sense, or which ever way you look at it.
I am looking forward to any others comments about these principals and the Anti-wire speaker cables in question.
Thanks
Norris Wilson
