You might be a yeasayer if ...

[okiemax]

A few weeks ago I posted a "You might be a naysayer humor list," and said then that I hoped someone would follow with a yeasayer list. No one has come forward, so to be fair, I have prepared such a list on yeasayers, or perhaps what some might call cable fanatics. Here it is ...

YOU MIGHT BE A YEASAYER IF ......

1. The amount of money you have tied up in wire is a closely guarded secret, known only by you and your analyst.

2. You have ever said to your wife "Oh no, honey, those just look like new speaker cables."

3. You have ever wondered if the color of wire is audible.

4. Deciding whether to use sand or lead shot in speaker stands was a dilema.

5. You have speaker cable the size of garden hose.

6. You can change interconnects blindfolded.

7. The jacks on your amp and pre-amp are coming loose

8. Your have wires named after reptiles, rocks, or precious stones.

9. Bananas and spades don't mean fruit and shovels.

10. Your wife has ever insisted you remove the cable risers before guests arrive.

11. You have ever considered arranging wires according to feng shui principles.

12. You suspect double-blind tests on cables make you imagine you are not hearing what you heard when you could see the cables.

13. You have ever refused to use an ABX comparator because it was not cyro treated.

14. Burning in your new power cord on the refrigerator made the food taste better.
