Do you think this would cover the goods being dangerous to operate? I guess it would be difficult to prove?

Own an mpx3. has worked fine, I like the sound of it and have always wanted to open it up, but don't have the right tool!

I think working with anything with small airborne fibres must be bad. I'm sure there was some link between particle size and cancer.

Quote: I don't live next to a "smelting plant", nor does my apartment have a "lot of brownouts" but the power conditioner (a Furman PL-8 Series II) I added to my system definitely eliminated the hum that was produced when I plugged my amp and CD player directly into the wall outlets. This...

Surely a well designed power supply should be able to deal with relatively dirty power anyway?

I love guys stereo in Nine 1/2 Weeks I wonder what it was

Quote: The point isn't to convince people who've proved many times in the past that they won't listen to reason. It's to make sure that a newbie doesn't stumble across this thread and think that the unsubstantiated mojo they're talking about actually works. The same three posters are adept...

I think all these threads degenerating into the same boring aruements is ridiculous. Although I agree with people like bigshot I think it would be nice to just leave these threads alone. There is nothing constructive gained by arguing, no one is convinced. Admin can we have a sceptics forum?

BTW I think if not one single "qualified" human being can tell the difference between these cables and win the money this forum should be renamed to "Paranormal Jewellery for your HiFi, and speakers", just to clear things up for everyone. Or may be just have a sticky disclaimer stating that all...

Patrick is great, its a (mostly) free world and if makes him happy posting here I don't see a problem. Surely that is the wonder of the internet - people can say what they like.

Quote: Sitting on a couch with headphones on is nothing like wine tasting, and sound is nothing like wine. Wine is an organic product that varies in a hundred different ways from batch to batch. It requires a keen sense and experience to discern all of the subtleties. While music itself has...

A UFO beamed my cables up last night and this morning there was a night and day difference! I'm going to get in contact with this guy. Of course I didn't hear it, my dead husband did!

Quote: 2. Errors This usually causes very significant changes in the sound, often loud popping noises but occasionally less offensive effects. Any data loss or errors in either are a sign of a very broken link which is probably intermittently dropping out altogether...

It is important to make sure your optical is plugged in the right way round too, contrary to popular belief glass does have a direction, preferring to let photons flow one way more than another. As manufacturers generally don't label the correct direction of photon flow it is important to...

I agree, the ones from target give much more transparency to the music, with a deeper bass. Possibly because the mid range is slightly rolled off? Although I heard someone wrapped ESR paper around the Wal-Mart and the sound stage was greatly improved!

Quote: because you have never heard any difference. Kwkarth, I have most definitely "heard" a difference, and that is what I consider to be the problem really. If anyone wanted to lend me some cables to enlighten me....

Quote: Hey, why is everybody so intent on "proving" to anybody else whether or not they can hear differences in cables or not? Just go listen for yourself and make up your own mind! If you hear differences, fine, if you don't, fine. The point is that most people will probably "hear" a...

Quote: I can tell you I have observed first hand statistically significant repeatable audible differences in cables. You should really put these results up on this forum, I'm sure a lot of users would be interested, me included! Quote: well, we learned in this thread that...

Quote: What do you do with the people that actually DID pick all tree right cables?! In the double blind test? I believe that was through chance as overall there was no significant trend. If I wrote a paper based on that kind of evidence I would be laughed out Quote: The...

Well I think we will have to agree to disagree. While I do appreciate the work that goes into some of these cables I just cannot believe that a human is able to detect differences that state of the art machines cannot, or that in this case DBT is not appropriate or reliable (this is something...

Quote: Well, I haven't, but maybe that's just lack of experience. What you're saying is at least plausible, though. The dielectric certainly can help reduce capacitance, induction and crosstalk. Whether audibly, I dunno (skeptical) but measureably, sure! But I don't believe that the...
