Anyone researching for a potential purchase *will* find this thread. Google it yourself. Also, this will be posted to most other audio boards and I've already submitted it to a social discussion site. People find the garden hose angle especially funny.

Big companies are not immune to scandal, either. Look at what happened to Enron, Ford/Firestone, not to mention many others. I suppose these guys can re-form under a new name and find a different angle to work their "business."

Its unfortunate, but a lot of the people that buy VD's cables are 40-something schmucks who either made a bunch of money off the stock market, or are MBA's who got real lucky. In other words, they are stupid in terms of electronics and will believe anything they are told.

Anything a forum tells them will not change their mind, because they don't care how much they spend on cables. They don't even use the internet as a research tool.

Taking that statement out of context ruins it. I was not referring to everyone, I was referring to the egotistic morons who make up most of VD's consumer base.

What publications do you write for?

Thanks

If you were smart, you would have done a slow fade long ago. You've made your bed now. Time to lie in it.

Yikes! Easy does it, it's getting rather vicious in here.

For an audio cable, no one. For a power cable that's plugged in 24/7, even when you aren't at home, I think there might be quite a few who care. Especially when the manufacturer is dodgy about addressing the issue. Power wiring in homes has to pass inspection and follow code. The same should be true of what you plug into the wall.

The post was meant to get at why this thread is unlikely to change anything. As most of VD's consumer base does not use the internet as a research tool. Do you ever see a certified electrical engineer spending tens of thousands of dollars on a cable?

Thanks for clarifying that. I'm one of those 40 something schmucks with an MBA. I just don't have money to wipe my butt with or to spend on frivolous things like a $150 PC that's made out of hose and Home Depot house wire. God I love this thread!!!!

Which is why I said, "An MBA who got lucky"; someone who doesn't really understand the value of a dollar or the value of physics.

Maybe if the VD flag wavers in this thread increase in numbers, at some point their combined passionate opinions can cancel out engineering fact? Truth is decided by majority rule and gut feelings, right? ....Right guys?? ;-) I mean whats with this science stuff anyway?? Does your tesla or whatever his name is work for Virtual Dynamics??? Well does he??

I recently had an article published in Positive Feedback and expect to contribute more there as time goes by.
