(...) As far as MB goes, an over-hyped product without verifiable data and science is bordering a miracle - do you guys believe in miracles? We here will be listening to these cables soon, and I bet we will have more measured words to describe the sound. I also just noticed this post from Marty http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?19340-Shunyata-Venom-Phono-cable&p=435611#post435611 expressing a little reservation:
And finally, I find personal attacks and innuendos (especially from manufacturers) just simply boring. And I am not referring to you.
Be good.
ack,
Perhaps you are not seeing that your post can be considered intrinsically an attack to the high-end. We do not have verifiable data and science on most of the high-end, most of the time we have just possible explanations on technical aspects that can correlate with our preferences.
Unfortunately the original thread was closed at the point I would have interesting thinks on hypothetical science to explain the poor text of the MB site (or btw, the sites of many other devices using dielectrics), but surely not how they work. I could happily go on debating with Al. or other friendly posters. But the thread went in a personal vendetta against the high end, supported by hasty conclusions driven by an aggressive court style that is not compatible with my timing or any science discussion, IMHO. It is regrettable that in name of the open mind of the high-end, people who are intrinsically against the essence of it - individual or small group preference - come here just to ruin threads on products just because of personal conflicts with their owners or dealers.
Forgive my answer - but I usually read your post with interest - you are a DIY person and love modifying equipment using components that have no scientific support at all - IMHO this shows an extremely open mind towards sound reproduction - I hope you and others understand my view on the MB cables.
