Dave Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 A 3 foot pair of these are only $2750 What on earth are these made of? http://www.pearcable.com/sub_products_anjou_sc.htm The review sounds like snake oil http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue32/anjou.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Geez, you can get closet fiber for less than that. They make an ultra fast transmit fiber cable for audio closet cabling that's got 0 loss and costs about $60 a foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eec564 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 It IS a complete ripoff and scam. Plus, their 'science' is rather questionable. See http://www.dansdata.com for lots of (mostly archived, it's a decent sized site, check out the letters) stuff on audio-cabling scams.

Pop N Wood Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Silver is a much better conductor than copper. Now if they were solid silver instead of just oxygen free copper.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Metal based transport materials for electronic data transfer is way outdated. Fiber Optics is the way to go now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(goldfish) Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Surprisingly there is a difference in speaker cable that is fairly easy to hear. Now I have not hear that stuff, or even that many types, but a good amount to know their can be a difference. Using fiber usually means another set of DACs. Just something else to muddy up the sound.

cygnusx1 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Quoted from their site: _____________________________________ "Review "Highly Recommended.” "In extended listening sessions, I found the cables' greatest strength to be its PRAT. Simply put these are very danceable cables. Music playing through them results in the proverbial foot-tapping scene with the need or desire to get up and move. Great swing and pace—these cables smack that right on the nose big time." - Dave Clark, Editor Positive Feedback Online" ______________________________________ I agree with a trained ear and good equipment, cable can make a difference. Not that much difference though. Here is one audio effect they fail to factor. If you do buy their cable, your seating position will be noticably lower in the listening room, as the wallet you are sitting on will be quite a bit thinner.

dladow Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 The audiophile world is rife with subjective claims and evaluations. My favorite audiophile product along those lines is the Shakti Stone, a $199 rock (but it is a really really nice rock, polished and everything). http://www.shakti-innovations.com/ is their website. The claim is that it reduces EMI. Note that they have an automotive application for their rocks, complete with dyno results. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randy 77zt Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 some body needs to get a lab scope and a frequency generator and check this stuff-i think the monster cable running to my klipsch lascala's works just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(goldfish) Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Really it doesn't take much of a system to notice the difference of the cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2126 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 some body needs to get a lab scope and a frequency generator and check this stuff-i think the monster cable running to my klipsch lascala's works just fine I tend to agree with you on the Monster cable....been around for some time now and is a proven product. It wouldn't surprise me if the cable they used for comparison was cheapy zip cable (very small diameter, two conductor junk). In their comparison graph, their cabling starts rolling off at approximately 10K....do they think that is good performance??? Also, it's always funny to see the massive cabling and then they attach little tiny connectors....they must think people are just plain stupid!
