But I really doubt it.

Well, I'll tell you cats, recently I've been doing some experimenting with cables, and I must say that so far my system hasn't fallen prey to snake oil-type claims; quite the opposite.

Not too long ago, I acquired a Totem Acoustic Mite speaker as a center, and the clarity and soundstage bumped up when I bi-wired it. Then I replaced some Kimber 4PR speaker cables with a 9 AWG Kimber 8VS and some 10 AWG SignalCable Ultras (for my longer runs). It noticeably bumped up again.

The latest (and probably final) tweak? A 1.5m pair of brand new Audience Maestro interconnects that I found dirt cheap on Audiogon (wouldn't have been able to afford them otherwise). They're running from my CD out, and since my center/monoblock/passive preamp configuration is driven by different interconnects I decided that it would be easiest to detect any shift if I ran just two channels for the time being. Guess what? These Audience ICs clearly enhance the sound in two-channel mode (the fullness almost matches the center), and now that I know Audience has a re-termination service that allows you to split, say, a pair of 2m cables into four 1m lengths, I'm going to do that in order to re-outfit my mono center-channel configuration. The best thing is that, even with the re-termination fees, the five interconnects are going to cost less than half the price of five new Audience Maestro ICs. I'll post again after the process is completed and burned-in just in case anyone's interested.

Actually, I can even amend the math on that. What I'll end up paying for five cables (less shipping costs) is just under the price of a new pair of .5m ICs. As one might imagine, I'm pretty excited about the whole thing.

Maybe you can go in for a couple of these next.

If you notice any typos in my posts over the next 24 hours, just blame charlie for posting that last link - just skimming the pace for MD's latest offering has left me with a bad twitch...

Highway robbery, I tell you!…at that price, I'd go for crystals any day of the week…

Like I said, twitchy. Meant to type page...

Aww, go ahead and pull the trigger, why don't you?

Sorry to ruin your game like that, but I had to perform a cleansing ritual after reading that tripe, and passing it on is part of the cleansing.
