WTF.

Bananas indeed.

"I can attest to the fact that this humble cable really does make an audible difference to the sound heard from your amp."

Is that when compared with another cable or no cable at all?  If it's the former then it must be faulty, I'm out!

Twenty three grand and they still want another ton to burn it in.

Has anybody else read Sporky's comment in their head, using the voice of Frank Butcher?

"Twenty three grand? Paaaat!"

Those fancy cables aren't going to sound any good unless they're supported on towers though.  We all knew that, right?

What I always enjoy about audiophile sites is that it is impossible to tell the real ones from the parody ones. 

Paaaaat.

...plus all the cables, towers, etc need a liberal coating of snake oil to really be able to work their magic...

Removing the Cable Towers made the noise from my carpet more apparent.

Priceless.

I was heading more down the Ray Winston route but either works. 

Unlike faux cable science

They look too cheap to be any good, £700 USB cable more my thing

What an idiot. He obviously hasn’t bought the Russ Andrews noise reduction carpet.

It's all about the power.  And clearly a 1 inch cartridge fuse made of silver with gold plated caps will improve your sound no end, despite being downstream of 300 yards of bog-standard copper to your nearest sub-station or pole transformer!

You'll probably think "a veil has been lifted", you've got better imaging, improved timing (never did get that one).  Or maybe you'll just be poorer.

And HiFi nerds thinking they hear a difference is the key to how these charlatan companies keep selling their nonsense. It’s all based on unprovable “science”. of course, so even if it gets to court, Russ Andrews and his ilk will always have a get out.

Dyson are developing an audiophile vacuum cleaner that conditions the carpet and produces minimal static electricity.  It will be called the Dyson Suckermatic and will retail for £79,999.

They're only $13000, these are the real deal, and as for Russ Andrews cables... mere budget gear....

Yawn!

Nothing much happening so an opportunity to bash the audiophile brigade*.

Yawn!  Yawn!






* Some guitars, amps, pedals etc. cost an extraordinary amount of money.  IIRC, there was a thread recently on the theft of a £13K PRS guitar.  Shocking how much of their own money people are prepared to spend on their hobby/interest.  Shocking.  Should be a law against it.

Yes! I hear you. 

People stop hating on audiophiles.

If I wanna sell my grandmother to buy posh cables that's my business.

To be fair we're the same to the Flat Earthers, the homeopaths, and all the other scamming swindlers. Fair's fair.
