I totally agree - I think he has exactly the right attitude, and I have no problem with him or his products. I've even considered buying some of his cables, but in the end decided if I'm going to spend $400 on something because it's beautiful, I'd rather it be something that's not hidden behind a stack of stereo gear in a closet.

Agreed. What bugs me is when people tell other people that they -need- an expensive cable to get the most out of their system, or that it will make a difference in sound quality (not just that they believe it does for them, but that it will for someone else), or when they offer some nonsensical pseudo-physics explanation for something which is actually in their head, or when they try to discount results like this coathanger comparison. And I think that actually matters, because not everyone is a religious fanatic already - some people are unconverted :-). > I drag race cars too , I spent a lot of money on my engines in terms of > polishing parts , braided hoses etc , none of which give me more > performance.

It's all about status, beauty, money, elegance, convenience - not performance. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44124 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
