Can you imagine if every OEM that had any large quantity of sales had to store their customer's boxes after the sale? What an expensive nightmare that would be.

In the case of wood crates like Silent Running and Doshi, expect they will reuse them.

I'm not so sure. The crates will suffer some wear and tear every time they are used. Plus, don't the crates have the serial number stenciled on the sides of them? So unless you could convince your customers that you are saving them money by sending them used crates, I don't think it would go over very well. Specially with customers who want boxes with dovetail joints and mirror-finishes lined with red velvet inside.

Hmmm... You write a cable review and the thread drifts to crates and packaging...:confused:

I'm thinking sarcasm was your Major!:p

Mark-I want to be the first to apologize for being the first to drive your thread off into a ditch. I'm truly sorry and this will be my last post on this thread. You have a story you were trying to share with your cable review and we need to get back to that.

Hey guys -- no need for apologies. More surprised that this is what caught folks attention ;)

To get back on track, Doc, explain what you think are the synergies of these cables with your gear, since you are using some pretty special electronics. I don't remember what speaker you have, nor the amp(s). Didn't Mike L. also have a set of Found Music amps? Did he use their cable(s)? The hardest part about cable comparisons for me (and I suppose other gear evaluations as well) is that the results seem to vary depending on associated equipment. A cable that is too 'bright' for one system seems to be 'alive' in another; a cable that sounds muted in one system will sound 'rich' and characterful in a different assembly of gear.
I have heard cable differences in my systems for decades, but I'd have a hard time explaining whether the cable I like in my system is a world beater for someone using a different set-up.

Bill --

All excellent points. I do own unusual gear:

SimMoon Andromeda CD Player
Galibier Turntable
Durand Telos Tonearm w/Benz stereo LPS cartridge
Durand Talea Tonearm w/Miyajima Premium BE mono cartridge
Experience Music Kahn Two Box Phono Preamp (currently using GE 56 triodes and mercury rectifiers)
Experience Music Kahn Two Box Line Stage (currently using Zenith 71a triodes and mercury rectifiers)
Einstein Light In Dark Amplifier (using Amperex 6922 tubes)
Daedalus Ulysses Speakers


I agree that cabling is system dependent. For that reason, I think Found Music's model of try before you buy is the right approach.

Recent completed front to end cabling of my system including new top of the line Found-Music speaker cables. Wow! More to follow...
