Romy the Cat got no love on the audio forums often clashing with with reputable people, hence time to create my own forum to attract the very few people that share similar ideas. /hehehe

The only one thing that I find sweet was the custom Raal ribbon that was

made for him. It's very very nice.

Output impedance is not always low //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
I understand where you're coming from and I agree, but I don't think he should be discouraged from trying it either. Sometimes the best way to make something sink in is to hear it (or in this case, not hear it) for yourself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thank you! Its a few bucks and a couple hours of my time, if I hear no audible difference, then oh well it was worth a try. If I do, well than it WAS worthwhile //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

I'm just wondering who he doesn't have disdain for //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I am just really surprised that MR. DIY isn't willing to try something new here.

To be honest, things are what you make it. There is validity to the argument that cables make an acoustic difference. But, that argument is very subjective and applies a lot in the mind. However, if a person using cable that isn't standard zip cord hears a difference then it is worth the price of admission for them.

In the true quest to perfect sound a lot of it is science, but a lot of it is very subjective and argumentative because of different perspectives. Not one method is satisfactory for everyone, otherwise we would all have single speaker tube setups, or high wattage line arrays, or small bookshelfs with small solid state amplifiers.

If one person hears something in a cable that another doesn't we really can't say either way if it makes a difference or not. Audio, just simply doesn't work that way.

Just my 2 cents.

You can easily show whether or not the wire actually has an affect on the signal over the bandwidth we human's are capable of hearing.

Whether you are able to hear reality (i.e. no difference, if none exists), or are unable to cease fooling yourself into thinking that one cable "sounds better" is a matter of psychoacoustics and may, for some, make the expense worth it if the sound truly pleases them that much more (though to the sane it would be an obvious waste of money).

That's not to say all cables sound the same.....it is certainly possible for a cable to affect the audio bandwidth. But these differences are easily quantifiable if they exist......and if they don't exist, well........

yea... wires and cables are always a mystery
