Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Bi-wiring and Speaker wires: Is it necessary?

Yeah, its kind of amusing to watchum' do the hurkey-jurkey(propaganda) when someone asks the hard questions and hold their feet to the fire.

Your welcome on the link. I really like the way those guys at audioholics.com think.

Chess

Since I'm the resident cable expert (hehe) paying for obsene wire I would like to correct you in stating that it is not Cardost.. but you actually mean Cardas for Cardas Cross cables ($1050 a pair pretty cheap) or Nordost for Nordost Valhalla cables (1 meter bi-wire $4200)

Hey mwc:

I do it once in a while to get Semi_On's blood running a bit. It doesn't work with Chess though. He has too much patience.

Saturn,
I stand corrected.

Perhaps my mind muddled together the Nordost and Cardas to come up with Cardost.
Perhaps i was dreaming there was even a better cable if you could twine the two together (double the performance?).

Chess:

Wow I never thought about that ... lemme try...
goody gooody gooooody......

Here are some very good links to articles on cables:

Take Jon Risch's info with a grain of salt. Most of what he posts is untrue. His cable receipts are laughable. Using a coax is the way he suggests adds very high capacitance and eliminates the benefit of the shield.

As for his agenda, rest assured he has one. He wouldn't be the moderator of the cable forum at Audioasylum, while also banning a DBT in only that forum where it would seem to be most applicable given the psychological aspects of cables.
