discreet Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) 'It changes the sound before the sound even happens'! I don't think this bloke even believes his [i]own [/i]bullplop. Not convinced, needless to say. What about the miles of crappy 2p-a-metre cable that leads from the power station to the socket that this cord gets plugged into? It's pretty good if it can make all that sound like it's oxygen-free titanium, or whatever. Total fraud! These people should be arrested!

blue Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) I don't mind paying top dollar for good basic gear and accessories, but $149.00 for a cord, No thanks, it's a cord.

Annoying Twit Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 A lot of audiophiles 'aren't keen' on the science, as it rather inconveniently disproves what they believe to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Far from being 'bullsh*t' or 'a fraud', I find these items invariably work as described. If I can afford the very best (as indeed I can) I will always take advantage of improved tonal quality and enhanced audio rapport. It's my experience that detractors of this kind of product are invariably poor people or bitter cheapskates or uninformed hobbyists. In a way, I feel sorry for them.

Marvin Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Victor Wooten appears on their site and is quoted as saying "Incredible". That's good enough for me.
