Goodness gracious, Darren. You have forgotten the most important element. Your AC power supply. Why, here in Cali, when we hooked it up to Sierra Club approved hydroelectric generated power versus coal and nuclear powered sources, it's unbelievable what a difference it makes...but nothing like when we listened to ordinary source material powered with AC produced through lead free solar pv panels supported by virgin Yew boughs with the power routed through 100% long grain cryo treated copper wire to inverters that Tibetan monks hand wound and blessed with a sprinkling of 3000 year old snow melt from a snow cave in the Himalayas...we saw the truth...danceable? foot tapping? nothing!...we are talking removing the veil baby...pass the Yohimbe please.

Yeah, cables...

If I am reading this correctly isn't the JREF giving Monster a certain amount of credibility by only wanting to put the Pear cable up against Monster? The Pear cable is laughably expensive but so is Monster to the average Joe. I would like to see this test done against a cable from Monoprice or Blue Jeans.

Well, I think that on the spectrum of $10 monoprice to $7k Anjou, the $100-150 monster will fit right in the middle. I think it's a good choice, and after the monster proves indistinguishable, then you can move to compare to monoprice, and lamp cord, and anything else if you want to rub salt in the wound.

I'd like to know who bought these cables. I've got a bridge for sale...

I think I'm going to make some of my Canare cables, put them in the freezer and sell them at a 1000% markup as "cryogenically enhanced"

. . . but then my conscience kicks in

Crazy claims are made throughout all walks of HT. I know some that made claims of projection screens that 'create light'!

I see it as the Placebo Effect... when people spend that much they convince themselves there IS a difference more than their actually being a difference. I had a friend that was a Porsche mechanic and one of his customers showed up just to hang around and chew the fat. He showed Ziggy his shiny new gold plated tire gage. Ziggy leaned over to check the air in his wife's Mustang and the guy flipped out "What are you doing??? That's specially made and calibrated just for Porsche's!!!" Zig looked at him and asked how much he paid for it. The guy beamed and said "$80"

Here's your sign!

Anyone who thinks they can get better sound by buying speaker/interconnect cable that cost more than the Mic cable used in the recording studio is INSANE!!!

Hmmmm, so the cable guy backed out; doesn't want his cables tested. Why?

Hopefully they will be able to agree on another brand of cable.
