Members NITEFLY182 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yeah I take the plunge on something silly about once or twice a year. Who knows, it might be awesome. I've been using an Evidence melody cable for a while but its solid core so its pretty damn stiff. This is supposed to be much more flexible although its also solid core. Damnit Im a corksniffer.

Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 well according to many at tgp, you have to pay more than $100 to get a good sounding cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 Not at all actually. The Lava ELC is about the price of a monster cable and is a lot nicer. Ive seen guys there with full vandenhul rigs though which is crazy. If youve got the money though it couldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SharkMinusBear Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 Would you like a fine red wine and some expensive cheese to go along with those cables? I hear they will preserve your high-end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITEFLY182 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 please do a blind A/B comparisonEh... I dont even care to prove to anyone that one cable is better than another. Otherwise I would work for an audiophile magazine and not a newspaper. Those guys do usualy end up with piles of free high end interconnects though...

If youve got the money though it couldn't hurt.yeah if i was a billionaire, then throwing away a couple of million wouldn't hurt either. Having a lot of money to spend doesn't excuse this uninformed buying practice, which is in essence what it is -- extremely uninformed and naive.I was referring to specific TGP individuals who assert that good sound is equivalent to the cost of the cable, which is baloney. I could quote those claims for you, but i wouldn't want to waste my time and i think you could easily find them yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his long cable prices are cheaper than Lavas last time I looked but his patch cables were like $1 more. The cables were definitely good quality though.

Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 Like I said Im not that worried about it. Call me stupid if you like. Ill see if they make a difference.I'm not calling you stupid, but i think you are plenty smart enough to be able show the sonic difference between a cheap $20 cable and a $100 cable. These claims are made all the time and are based on nothing but hype and personal bias. People say, "i use my ears," and that's fine for you maybe but is insufficient to make a generalization. Problem is if you give the same cables to another person, he'll probably say, "i don't hear the difference." And you gave these to another guy and he'll say, "the cheaper cables sound better than the expensive one," at which time you'd be scratching your head in confusion.

Members SUPER VELCROBOY Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 oh and btw, I'm not saying an expensive cable can't sound better or superior sonically, but no one seem to be able to prove this to me :lol: How am I supposed to make an informed decision when i don't have the necessary data? Until then i'll just make my own cables at $10 a pop and save the other $90 for some nice sashimi. I know those taste good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 Word. Its all personal preference. I like things bright and clear which sometimes makes a difference with cables. The canare I use now is pretty dark so replacing the three cables in my board snake with ELC will probably change that a little. Other people like dark sounds with a bright guitar like a tele so a long ass high capacitance cable is totally right for them. But really, Im just a sucker because the cable is red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a local shop that makes custom racks and junk and bought wire, shrink wrap, and connectors to make a bunch of my own. And a little solder fumes is good for your health, righto?
