Look through the archives and you will find the squirrel's nuts.
It is painful to read the same old lies time after time in his posts.
He has been given every opportunity to demonstrate the cable differences
he claims to hear and always refuses to do so. I take his posts with a
generous pinch of salt.

Given that there's no scientific basis whatever for differences bewtween cables
of similar constructions It's hard to do otherwise.

I wonder where he stands on 'cable burn-in' ?

Dunno. I may be a pyromaniac but I'm not setting fire to cables that
cost upwards of £20/metre...

All sarcasm aside, I've never heard the sound of a cable change with
time. Speakers, yes. They're mechanical devices, and they do need to run
in. But cables, no.

The sound of the electronics does change though - the Technics SL-PG320A
CD player I had many years ago sounded pretty awful when turned on from
cold. Leave it on for an hour or so and it sounded lovely. Same with
amplifiers etc. Better to leave the kit turned on all the time (except
if you're away on holiday or whatever).

Obviously. Nothing a quick *plonk* *plonk* wouldn't solve. Except it's
quite entertaining.

Don't worry, it's only the uk.rec.audio clique. You won't get any
sensible discussion from them, only mindless insults to anyone who
doesn't agree with their narrow minded views.

Oh, I'm not worried, but I now remember why I haven't posted for a
while.

Thanks Glenn. That's the first time I've ever been accused of being in a clique.
Now I'm in it, I can honestly say that there is no clique except in the opinion
of the outsiders.

You could easily demonstrate your cable differences to us, if they existed.
But of course if there was no difference you would claim that the effect was
masked by the a/d conversion in your sound card. If you want to try, I'm sure
we could agree a valid test method.

When challenged to a fair test, the audiophools normally back down.

The A/D conversion on a PC sound card is indeed fairly crap.

I haven't yet set my CD recorder up since moving house, but as soon as I
do I'll make an analogue recording onto this, same track, one with
freebie cable and one with Chord Cobra III. Then compare.
