Cable heretic, but need help.:)

Great link. But how useful is the braiding of only the last 6 inches of cable?

Since when was half of what "audiophools" did "useful"?

"I can hear a difference" is an observation only to be found in the dictionary of audiofools

I believe in cables.. I can hear a difference when the cable changes. But what I don't believe in are the prices

There's a certain satisfaction to even organising and tidying up a mass of cables. It looks nice; it looks professional; and that's the "usefulness" of it.

Of course, I don't doubt that there are those that can hear the difference between passing their speaker cables through an oak thingy and a teak thingy.

Branded hifi cable prices in India.
A 500% mark up on the manufacturing cost or more?

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

Not just in India, surely?

One of best and most honest of them is BJC. He clearly states where he sources the material from or who makes them for him. And his margins are hardly 50% more.

Cheers

Maybe "useful" should be read as "usefool"
