The forum would be a boring place without the likes of @Hari Iyer and admirers of Mr. Murthy!
Murthy's Cables ( tools & trades ) bangalore
- Thread starter vijwilso
- Start date
I am in no position to compete with Mr.Murthy and I can't even make a pair a week now. Design and perfection took me so long. Hope building is faster.
Pmed his number, he ships.
Call him
9972268301
or
9880033516
Remember he has no idea of this discussion and there is no need (IMO) to disturb him. He is 70+ I think
10-5 pm would be probably be good. He will be probably be at home as we are under lockdown.
disclaimer: I don’t get a cut from his business nor do I have any financial or other relationship with him other than as a occasional customer. I do like the man and his understated style of working.

Mr Murthy is going to be flooded with buyers for his products in the next few days. He is definitely going to surprised about the increased interest in his products 
. I am sure he will continue to service his customers to the best of his abilities, and more importantly, with all humility as he always does!

This is what I wrote about Mr. Murthy on page 1 of this thread, eight years ago:
’mr.murthy is a rare treasure. his soft-spoken manner, passion for audio and genuine humility won me over from the get-go. as killerbrain noted, his products are top notch, and there's no pressure to buy. it's an absolute pleasure to do business with this man!’
In hindsight, ‘rare treasure’ was exactly the right turn of phrase. Especially considering the proliferation of inflated egos around the world today.

You are now stirring a hornets' nest! Looks like you are really bored!
Already spoke with him a while ago and sent my requirement.
Will see how this goes and how good the cables are (relative to their price)
I do not doubt for a moment that you have a great product at hand - a real diamond crafted with all your hard work and RnD and worth every penny you ask for it and a lot more, but you haven't even heard his offering (atleast that is what the post above suggests) and you are ready to make such a claim, that may come across as "overconfident", "a fool's bet" or even "misguided faith".
The world of audio is full of subjectivity - but this is taking subjectivity to another level, specially from a man who claims to have a very scientific approach. Not measuring/comparing the results is not scientific. You are making assumptions - not 'very' scientific (works only in theory).
Humility does play a huge role in your business and life. I would agree if there was only 1 doctor on earth and he was rude as hell and always bragged about himself and always told everyone how much he knows - and if I had piles - I will go to him - because I have no other option. But we are in a different kind of world today and too many doctors. It is perfect competition everywhere - with legitimately good products too, so what you offer beyond your good product does matter.
I am not here to offend you I have actually read a lot of your stuff on this forum and being a novice in this field I have learned from your writings, however you approach here is not very convincing towards the legitimacy of your claim. I understand you do not want to give your secret formula away by creating a new thread - legit, I wouldn't either if I was so close to a breakthru - a magician never gives away his trick. However if I really wanted to build a business and really learn from feedback and make my offering better (which seems to be your aim here) I would perhaps write to a few legit members who have Mr. Murthy's cables, send them mine and ask them to give me feedback on build and sound quality and perhaps take it from there - buy if you like kinda situation. Your sample size right now is very small - read only you and "perhaps" a trusted few and sound being subjective your only benchmark is your ears.
But I am not you and I am not running your show and I am a nobody - so what do I know.
That kimber is a fantastic cable. I would have picked it up if it were an XLR.
I don’t think Mr. Murthys cables will better it. But would love to be proved wrong!
This is the big challenge, with any cable, IMO.
How do we (non techies with no instruments to measure objectively) decide if a cable is good or better or worse (compared to what)? So many variables- electronics, source material quality, speakers, room, hearing ability, mood, use of mood enhancers, dogma etc.
Often these discussions soon become similar to discussions comparing different religions.
If you like it you keep it kinda situation no?
Isn't it all about enjoying or it has to measure well? What if I do not like a system that measures perfectly but love something that measures like c**p? Should I stick to the measurement or the feeling of my feet tapping? Should I enjoy or should I take pride in the measurements?There is a possibility it offers no change, in that case I do not see the point of keeping it, but if it does and the change sounds 'better' to you - what is the harm if it doesn't measure well?
Just a thought.
On a different note - if you want a pair of speaker stands - he can do those very well too - Mr.Murthy. A little expensive - but heavy solid wood and great craftsmanship.
I needed a pair of stands for my QA C20s and it had to be wood and it had to kind of go with the aesthetics of the rest of the house, the QA stands were to be avoided like plague. I ended up contacting him and gave him a few pictures of the samples, we decided the color through photos (not very smart). He returned with a quote and a promise that I will not be dissatisfied - I took a leap of faith and added a couple of other things in - jumpers etc. We closed the deal I transferred the money and I waited.
I got my stuff in almost - slightly less than a month. I received 2 massive cartons, both packed in separate wooden crates and cardboard and thermocol and bubble wrap and cling wrap. Now I was excited, took them out, realised they were heavier than my Teak Wood dining chairs - each of them yes and looked absolutely fantastic. He executed the guidelines and expectations perfectly. The finishing and craftsmanship was phenomenal. The stands are really high end and I am still using the jumpers.
I know he is not a carpenter and gets it done, but an engineer isn't building everything either.

The reality is everything may be objective. Subjective is one's own perception.
That being said…how would you measure presentation, coherence, tamber, soundstage, body & weight etc etc?
So “my opinion” of how a cable (or a component) sounds to me, in my system…within the constraints…is the only thing that “matters to me”. You are entitled to disagree with an opinion (but be civilized
).I would rather try (if possible), and experiment and tweak…and over the course of time realized that I should trust my ears more than anything else. I can’t measure everything and I wouldn’t. What I like may not measure well and vice versa.
So given our unique tastes and the constraints you mentioned, subjectivity matters more IMO.
