Mark, that's exactly how I would respond to a series of posts like the above (at least in my mind, if not in print).

The first statement obviously wasn't a response, but we've all done stuff like that. "I'm excited about this product, gotta tell people!"

I had Cambridge Soundworks Ensemble 1s as my speakers, and an old, vaguely functional Toshiba silver face receiver from the early 80s.

I was actually thinking about spending money on Kimber cables in order to improve my sound in leiu of saving for new speakers.



haha, thats pretty funny.

It is my intent to inform the new, untrained neophyte, who doesn't know better, that there is no scientific proof that there is any audible difference between cable, and thus spending a lot of money on them is, IMHO, unnecessary. Once that point is made, I have no problem with anyone spending what they want on cables or anything else.




Gotcha. I kind of lost track of the fact that the OP was looking for advice. Good Post.

I'm going to forward this post to Milton Friedman. There goes the theory of the rational consumer. He's going to be so choked. There goes capitalism.

Yeah, I gotta go with Mark and Jack on this one. (Did I say that out loud? ).

Ask away, do a little searching, decide to participate or not and always try to be a gentleman (or gentlelady). Good stuff usually happens.

I chose not to get into this one because the subject matter always denigrates into a dummy contest. But I was also put off by Ski's tone. To be honest, I find it difficult to have a conversation when the other party insists on sticking a finger in my eye while asking me to assist them. Frankly, my concentration suffers and my eye hurts. Maybe it's just me.

I didn't mean for my message to come across with "a tone". The quotes you listed were in reference to the "we have been down this path before" comment. Just because I do a search doesn't mean I will get my answers. So, that is why I started where I did.

I am not demanding answers just asking valid questions, I thought. I apologise for coming across that way! Sorry.

Now one last question? This is elementry, is there a difference in sound between RCA (LandR) interconnects, and Coax Digital from your CD player to your preamp/reciever? Hmmm...

Thanks for all the input!

Taking a sarcastic tone won't help either.
