My ode to Cables

[bturk667]

I like my cables; this I can not deny. They helped the sound of my system; this too is no lie. Try as you may to dismay, I will not bite. For I like my cables with all my might! So unto you disbelievers I say good night and keep up the futile fight; who knows, you may be right!
Or Not!
Have a great day!

I’ve never seen as many fables
As those that are applied to cables.

Some see the differences as day and night.
And others say it's very slight.

And then some say there's none at all.
Have you ever seen such gall?

[Rockwell]

There once was a man named Bturk667
Whose gulibility is manna from heaven (for cable companies)
His faith is misplaced
Cables have no saving grace
His claims and couplets are less than proven
:D

Of all the opinions on sound
This is what I have found
Use your ears, not your brain
Although others disdain
that you've kept your feet on the ground.
How can you ignore what you hear
base your judgement on fear
of opinions of internet clowns?

[Rockwell]

Use your ears, not your brain


Good, I am glad you are advocating blind testing. ;)

[Bill L]

If you're volunteering I'll gladly poke your eyes out for you.

Well, that would prevent me from reading your clueless posts, but I suspect there are easier ways to go about it. It also doesn't keep you from inflicting yourself on others, so think I'll pass.

[Bill L]

Hyper sensitivity and vindictiveness. Ya gotta love this guy!

?


How do you ask your brain to shut down, not interfer, interpret the signals from you ears? You may have discovered soemthing here. Publish it.

I am not a poet, don't you just know it?
But, I like my cables too :)

[maxg]

If there is one thing in audio that is stable
It is, a persons views on cable
Why we discuss it all the time
Is a mystery to me, in rhym
So decide for yourself what you believe
This fretted brain to relieve
Using your science or using your ear
you'll get no joy from this I fear
Not one convert will you get
On this poor subject our minds are set....

Hmmm... listening to music without using one's brain... the thesis could be called "The Essence of Rap Music".

BoooooooooooooooooooHisssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Proof is in the eyes of the beholder, not in the scolder! So if you do not believe, for you I will grieve! For I listen with my ears, and I will not heed your jeers. Do to your system what you must, but my ears I will always trust!

Have a great weekend!

[bturk667]

Would that be single or double? How about triple?

For your own personal proof, do what you must,
but to convince others, how will they trust
your biased and flawed observations?
Your claims are merely speculation.

TGIF have a good one!

Any would be better than sighted, but you'll have to ask Billl, he said it. Good luck with that ;)

[bturk667]

TO MY OWN SYSTEM they are a plus! To yours they might be a bust. So I say trust not in me, let your ears guide thee!

If that's the case, what's the point of sharing
when your experiences are just a red herring?
Dbt is the only way to determine
whether you are hearing or just perceivin'

...that was a tough one :D

[bturk667]

Not bad!

I dare to share because I care! If my experiences are a red herring then who am I scarring? You say dbt is the only way. I see it as a way for you and others to simply say nay! Dbt is the true red herring, there is no need for that kind of comparing! When I listen to music I do so with my ears; If I had to do it with my mind I would be in tears! Believe in cables or not, I'm still glad I gave them a shot! After all it is my money, so have a good weekend, and I hope it's sunny!

I'm glad you love your high priced wire
But this is a debate of which I tire
Do they make a diff or do they not?
Are yours much better than what I got?

It would be compelling if Audioquest
or Kimber did a double blind test
but they never shall, don't you see
for if they did, you'd think like me.

I do agree that listening is best
so why not put it to the test?
Close thine eyes, with ears do listen
what fun is a contest of pissin'?

Rid thyself of this red herring
then at thyself thy will be swearing!
A test can be done with simple ease,
you'll trade those cables for new LP's!

:)

[bturk667]

Try and try as you may to sway, I will keep my Blue Heaven's, if that's o.k?
To prove me wrong all you have to do is come along.
You bring your cables, and I'll bring mine, and we'll see whose cables truely are devine.
So next time your in Chi-Town, come on down!
My door will be open, so here is to hopin' !

Just close your eyes, if you dare
I promise that I'll be most fair
I'll swap one in, I'll swap one out
and you'll know what we harp about!

The sound won't change, I dare to say
But yes, keep your Nordost, it's ok
But me? You'll find this rather funny
I'd sell the Nordost and pocket the money!

Man, I was just IN Chicago today! Just got back a few hours ago - business trip. But screw the cables - I wanna hear that vinyl rig you have! :)

[bturk667]

Next time your in town let me know.
You bring your cables, and of course I'll have mine!

[Rikki]

Parts is parts and
Wire is wire
Spending money on cables though is what some people desire
They say it can improve systems for both you and me
But I think some just suffer from cable envy !

[92135011]

what the...whats with the rhyme?
liking your wires is no crime.
Without them, you cant make sound
so you need them pound for pound.

I don't have good wires, and maybe I'm cheap,
but the real fact is I dont have money to make that leap.
If it's makes you happy then that's cool,
because if it doesnt, spend more time at the pool.

*the above may not make sense, but I tried my best...*

[DMK]

Rikki, don't lose that zipcord
you don't wanna listen to nothin else.
Put it all in your system by yourself.

Rikki, don't lose that zipcord,
it's the only stuff you own.
You might use it and you'll feel better
when you get home.

All apologies to ***en and the other fella! :)

Sheesh, even a composer's name that has a nasty word in it gets bleeped around here!

lmao, I'm assuming I could sing this version at the karaoke bar to the tune of "Rikki, Don't Lose that Number" :)

I doubt it! But since you spout it maybe it is you who is full of envy. Because I sure as hell know that is is not me! Penis envy maybe, but the again I'm am not from Venus! I'm more than happy with what I own, so I'll let you cast the stone!

You got it! I couldn't keep up with the Turkmeister so I stole from Donald F-A-G-E-N! Now watch that get bleeped! :)

It's ok to have cable envy. The problem is when you play with your cables. Say you start out with Audioquest Kilamanjaro. Play with it too much and it turns into Kimber 8TC. If you don't stop, it then becomes Nordost Valhalla. Then you go blind.

[bturk667]

There are worse ways of going blind! Since Kilamanjaro is a valcano, at least I remember it being one, should not they be the last cable before going blind?
