And I thought buying over-priced Monster cables was crazy

This is ridiculous.

How is it possible that a power cable cost more than a car? I don't care if it can produce sound as if Jesus himself was singing, there's no way that there's $25k worth of materials being used.

And whats funnier still? He's listening to MP3's, hahaha !

No. You're just jealous they can appreciate the difference and have the funds to do so.
 
it's obvious that this guy and the company is on the same boat trying to scam some fool at the FS-FT. I bet he will be selling judge cable in FSFT for $5000 soon.

and his Magix levitation feet is like $200 a pop, WTF.

No. They -are- idiotic. They -are- affected by the placebo that is caused by the price tag.

I don't need to. I upgraded the power cables on my speakers and it made a good improvement.

Until you've tried it all you naysayers are just speculating with NO FIRST HAND experience.

Jealousy is an evil emotion and clouds your reasoning and judgement.

I'm pretty sure most people here are only jealous of the funds.

I am in no way jealous of the brain disorder that audiophiles have that causes them to think that spending $25,000 (even $1,000) on a power cable is worthwhile. In fact I am quite happy that I am not so afflicted.

:thumbsup: this
 
That thread has to be a joke. The guy's posts just say the same thing over and over, but he doesn't actually respond to anyone asking questions.

I think he made that cable himself and posed with it. Otherwise, with real magnets that large, it should have strained him a little more to pose with it from the sheer weight of the thing.

cant really be jealous of something I'd never get, funds available or not.
and just so we're clear on where you stand, you think that guy spending 25K on power cables is a worthwhile expense?
 
Not really much of a revelation if you've spent any time in the hifi world. I'll be happy with my DIY Oyaide cables by the end of the year.

I think he's saying that since spidey is defending Patrick, spidey must be Patrick.

I didn't think it was funny either.
 
Hmm, I am getting an Idea. If I make some custom cables myself and sell them at 2K a pop, I would make some serious dough.

Hmm, time to get my soldering iron out and some parts...

I approve

Yep, just like many of these threads.

It's an addiction.

Hi, I'm Rick and I'm a recovering audiophile....😀

Power cord upgrades are nothing new.

It's that many can't take the time to learn how to listen to quality components yet poo-poo those that do appreciate the music, ridicule how costly some hand-made components can be.

That being said, Holy Mama that's an expensive component for what I consider a lower end source.:shocked:

That ass dyno can make you think anything is an improvement.

I would still like to see an audiophile take a blind test with about 6 sets minimum to see if they can determine what has been "audiophiled". Just normal audio CD's, you know, every day music.
 
The bass of most power cables is bigger than battery power, but it's only bigger because it's smeared, muddy and slow. Some thin cables like Nordost Vishnu have tighter bass than battery but everything is weak and thin. Judge power cable has bigger bass than battery but it doesn't smear anything, it makes it tighter than battery, much tighter!

What does this mean?

Why would I listen to CDs? They sound like shit.

And I do that with my favorite recordings from time to time and have the girl switch or not switch things so I can make a choice on which component I like with others. So I do blind testing in my own home.
