Members Fran da Man Posted October 25, 2007 Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well...I just had to smile recently when James Peters correctly put you in your place...Ok, how many Peters did James have to push to put them in their place? sorry, i couldn't resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tats_dragon Posted October 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2007 James Peters seems like he's on the fence. He hears a difference but still calls my cable experience 'pixie dust laden:blah::blah:' ...... He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Members T. Alan Smith Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Since I am new to the Bass Forum I do want to ask if King Kashue is respected enough here that whatever he reports about test no. 1, swapping guitar to amp cable, ...... most of you will believe?Jun KK is quite highly respected around here.

Members LanEvo Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Actually what detracts from LavaMan is his ... he isn't willing to back his claim up that any dufus can hear the difference. If that's the case, then there shouldn't be a problem having witnesses from Chicago or VA watch him identify a clear and audible difference over and over again.Exactly. LavaMan also forgets that in the original test, a few of the guys there (like T. Alan) expected to find a difference. In other words, some of them were biased in favor of LavaMan's cables. Anyway, this is the same debate the rages on in the Hi-Fi community. There are folks who swear that they can hear a massive difference ("as if a blanket were lifted off the speakers") when they've added some exotic interconnect, fluid-filled component damper, rare earth magnet, piece of Kryptonite, etc. to their stereo system. Every once in a while you come across threads where double-blind listening has taken place. 99%of the time, no one notices a difference. Then the guys who spent $1200 on speaker cable (and, of course, the folks who were only too happy to sell it to them) start getting defensive and calling everyone names. The bottom line is, if you're the guy making outrageous claims, then the burden of proof is on YOU to show a difference...not on US to detect it. If I told you the Earth was flat, it would be my job to prove that it is...not your job to prove that it isn't. Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t3ch Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 If you need to go to such extremes to identify a difference amongst the various cables, wouldn't that suggest that the difference is rather minuscule? Do you need a double-blind test to hear the differences between, say, a Seymour Duncan P-bass pickup and a DiMarzio P-bass pickup? Or stock wiring in a Squier Jazz vs. upgraded CTS/Switchcraft wiring? I sure don't. If we have to go to such extremes to detect a difference, then how can you claim that any moron can hear the night-and-day difference and that anyone who fails to do so must have tin ears? Exactly.

Members t3ch Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 I see humility isn't exactly your strong suit. I find it amusing that the worlds self-proclaimed best cable maker doesn't have the vocabulary of a high schooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t3ch Posted November 30, 2007 Members Share Posted November 30, 2007 The facts are the facts... I'll bet you that you aren't even in the top 10 in instrument cable manufacturers. No, I KNOW you aren't. How much do you care to wager? Your website coming up as #1 can be accomplished in many ways. I've been a computer programmer and web designer for years, so your silly little scheme doesn't work on me. I give you kudos for being sly though, very good marketing ploy. You may not have the best grammar, but you certainly have an interesting marketing strategy between your forum memberships and metadata trickery. Having said that... You may go away now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
