:clapping:

We've always believed that the perceived quality boost that comes from using high-end cables is really just a trick of the mind (read: justifying the ridiculous cost of premium cables to yourself) -- if you've dropped enough cash, you can probably hear anything you want. Still, our belief is one thing -- cold hard proof is another, and it looks like a group of 12 self-professed "audiophiles" recently couldn't tell the difference between Monster 1000 speaker cables and plain old coat hangers. Yeah, coat hangers. The group was A-Bing different cables, and unbeknownst to them, the engineer running the test swapped out a set of cables for coat hangers with soldered-on speaker connections. Not a single one was then able to tell the difference between the Monster Cable and the hangers, and all agreed that the hangers sounded excellent. No wonder Monster has to rig HD displays. Still, we bet people still fall for the hype -- oh hey, if you're looking for the ultimate in sound, we've got half a meter of oxygen-free, triple-wrapped double-insulated Sonically Shielded AmpliSized Egyptian Llama cable here that we'll part ways with for just a couple grand.

If you want to see The Dark Knight really ''dark'', then simply power-off your projector! ;)

I will look for you, I will find you, and I will make an HT addict of you!

Alles behalve wij audiofielen. Wij hebben tenslotte altijd gelijk. ;)

Ik zal je mijn rekeningnummer sturen via de PM. Kost een paar honderd euro, maar dan ben je weer helemaal de man.

Het voordeel is dat als je de hobby dan zat bent, kun je ze weer terugbuigen en in je kast hangen...

Waar kan ik die geweldig klinkende coathangers bestellen?

Ook interessant om te ontdekken dat de schrijver van dit artikel: Niley Patel, al erg veel goede andere audio gerelateerde artikelen heeft geschreven.

"Inability to accept the mystic experience is more than an intellectual handicap. Lack of awareness of the basic unity of organism and environment is a serious and dangerous hallucination. For in a civilization equipped with immense technological power, the sense of alienation between man and nature leads to the use of technology in a hostile spirit – to the "conquest" of nature instead of intelligent co-operation with nature." (Alan Watts, Psychedelics and Religious Experience, 1968)

Ach sommigen "geloven" alles op internet als het maar in het eigen straatje past. ::) ;D

Gelukkig maar, want dan hebben we tenminste wat om over te kleppen... :laugh:
