Direct attack, Steve... Stick to the discussion please and address the posts, not the individual. I know what you care about, and I know how I look at things. Enjoy the cables.

Thanks Peter for trying to explain the unexplainable here. But really, are we compare Mike/Blizzard to Steve? I hope we don't go there .I can try to help out. Remember how a former member praised a new DAC called the NADAC with HQPlayer and how quad DSD was the most accurate copy of the original master tape that was possible, or some such thing? A few people raved that it was the best, and not particularly expensive by high end standards, and the speculation was that this was the future of audio, here and now. Well, that was then. I wonder what happened. People must have moved on and found the next best thing that became the future of audio.
If that is not convincing, then perhaps it is as simple as finding something new that sounds better in one's system, reassessing past assumptions and enthusiastically sharing the discovery with friends on a member based forum. I'm sure if one does a complete history check of my past posts, he will find posts riddled with inconsistencies, contradictions, and embarrassing pronouncements, and a few examples of someone learning something new and changing his mind. Such is life.
sorry for that.
I just think you're missing out on a chance to hear some great sound

As I mentioned I learned about Steve's opinion of cables from forming this joint venture. The topic came up to rationalize our differing views of audio with Steve mentioning that he sees no value in audiophile cables as a common ground for both of us. During the ensuing years, I spent a lot of time communicating with Steve, far more than anyone else here would in casual audiophile encounters. This was a constant in his view as evidenced by the thread I post where he actually took the position of *objectivists* when it came to cables. Steve had gone through decades of being an audiophile and then having an aha moment that got him to ditch all of those views.
That is the Steve I knew and the conclusion of his nearly lifelong endeavour. During that time I am sure he had heard many other people's systems, none of which had changed his views.
Having someone go from believing in cables making a difference, then believing that they absolutely don't, and now insisting on revolutionary changes to sound in some specific brand, is not at all explained by what you say Peter. Steve has created this thread pleading with us that his observations are true. He is seeking approval from the community and support from fellow users. In that context, I shared my personal views of his journey that unfortunately his judgement of cable fidelity is unreliable and not durable. You can't possibly flip flop so many times in such large magnitude as to go to the objectivist camp and then say, "you have to believe me; this is the most important change I have heard in my system."
Now, opinions can advance and we can reserve the right to become smarter. If so, then a modicum of modesty would be in order rather than coming out and throwing swords at me and others. The comments should be, "while I have been wrong about cable assessments before, I think this is a good one." Not like, "you all are idiots if you don't go and listen to this cable." No, we would be idiots if we believed the latest opinion as valid given the past history.
So no, the situation is not as simple as you say Peter.
Personally, I think it's a positive trait when people do eventually change their minds.
Perhaps we all need to collectively stop attacking each other, directly or indirectly. The focus should be the MB cables. Personally, I think it's a positive trait when people do eventually change their minds.

1) As a matter of language words are useful only to the extent they help us to distinguish certain things from other things. I assume "superconductivity" has a precise and accepted technical meaning among scientists.
In the context of a manufacturer's explicitly technical discussion I believe it is misleading and disingenuous to use a specific and highly technical term in a "figurative" manner.

3) Has anyone seen on an oscilloscope, or does the MB manufacturer discuss or report, how perfectly the MB cables pass waveforms without adulteration?
You mean like when you a valve dac instead of the Spectral CD player?
, i am surprised that this brand has little distribution despite the VSA affiliation, there are no official reviews, no price list, no meaningful discussions in forums etc. so i am curios to know why the hype train after all these years? where were they hiding?
Love a good rumble on WBF , it's the only place it happens .... .
You should check the UK forums. Absolute brawlers. You buy anything they will thrash you. Cables and power treatments are their favorites.
Amir what you read from the OP is beyond anything I said. I asked for other members to state what they heard but instead you make this personal as you so always seem to do
I suggest you strongly rethink how you post in this thread and take ack's last post to heart
