Idiot talk would be more like it.
Guess he does makes a lot of sense!
While I did not watch the entire thing note that he never once talks about (at least in the portion I made it through) actually having listened to cables and done a comparison.
I agree that much of what cables do is unexplainable by our current ability to measure. But there are many things in physics, etc that are unexplainable but the effects are quite observable. I believe the effects of cable will become measureable as our ability to measure becomes more sophisticated.
So at the moment, to be a real audiophile & high-end'er is to listen to good quality equipment and make your objective judgements on what you hear. Comparing what you hear to real live unamplified instruments is your measure for objective assessments.
If you do this you'll find that having no actual experience this guy makes no sense.
Finally, I'll ask you: In what other field would you trust anyone who speaks with no actual experience? In every field "book" smarts or "they say" smarts is very different than actual experience.
have been using the Chord chameleon interconnects with the chord odyssey4 speaker cables for some time and the results have been extremely good
the difference when i upgraded from monster ICs and Monster spker wires was instantly noticed
I am surprised that here in this thread we are talking about VFM cables and nobody has uttered one of the best in the business "MOGAMI".
They make excellent cables and cater to most of the major studios in the world.
Their speaker cables and interconnects are one of the finest for under 20k price point. They have a speaker cable model called W3103. This retails for Rs.350 per meter and is available in Mumbai with Pace Communication:

These are made in Japan and they use very pure copper. The tones are smooth and neutral. If you really want to use a neutral cable without spending much, this is as good as it gets.
They also have IC which I have heard at a friend's place and they gain are very clean, smooth and neutral.
For power cord the best VFM I have come across is Finolex 4sqmm, braided and terminated with good quality connectors (Wattgate, Furutech, Oyaide), simply unbeatable sound quality from a wire which costs just about 25 rupees a meter. Just spend on the connectors.
Currently my whole system is powered through Finolex and the drop in noise floor is phenomenal along with a very full bodied wholesome soundstage.
Is there a specific model/part number to go for? I saw many types of speaker cable at their website.
