Where can I get hold of some from?bottleneck said:have you tried some 'studio grade stuff' Ultra?
I believe Graham C kindly brought some of it along to the Ipswich bake-off, Dev. Think it was called 'Studio Spares'. If i'm ever in the area, i'm happy to bring the Oratorios along, see what they can do to other peoples' systems. I have to say i'm incredibly curious....Dev said:Where can I get hold of some from?
Well I wasn't involved but what intrigued me about the results when they were finally revealed wasn't the fact that there wasn't any consensus about which cable was the best or even that people couldn't attribute the same characteristics to each cable. No, it was the fact that every single person involved reported the differing cables sounded different from each other. Given that nobody knew the construction or materials used of each cable, this seems interesting to me, as it would seem to ershew the oft touted cry of "but you know its a 'better' cable, so you of you'll think it sounds better" of the cable nay sayers.
What's more, I'd wager that if the test had been conducted again with the same people and the same cables and the comments of both test compared, you would have found that peoples descriptions wouldn't have been consistent from one test to the next.

And oddly enough(as I recall) many of the naysayers over at HFC took part in the experiment![]()

how good (no, stunning) a Marantz CD6000ki can sound (and how transparent a Marantz PM7200 amp and Tannoy Sensys DC1s are)
Doctor Jeep said:I got a similar 'grilling' regarding cables over on hifi choice last week! It was 99 to 1 against with most people saying cables made NO difference. I've heard it with my own ears but others seem to think they know best. Ah well!
