expensive power cables

[Zap Rekowski]

 

[Jamiewednesday]

From where I stand, part of the benefit of not getting suckered into believing the likes of AudioQuest about anything is that I don’t need everything everyone says to be sugarcoated, and I’m incapable of being insulted by people describing the laws of electrical engineering. Forget the financial expense, it feels to me that the mental and emotional expense the power cables have on you is not as immeasurable as the electrical performance benefit.

You seem to feel that you’re free to pass disparaging comment on my mental and emotional state. You really do need to rein yourself in.

I have explained in my earlier post that on one occasion I saw no benefit of a change. On another occasion, I have. How simple is that for you to accept for goodness sake?

Let me give you an analogy.

I say, “I have been on a boat. It went to France.” I then say, “I have been on another boat. It went to Spain.”

You then say, “I’ve seen lots of boats. They all go to France. You can’t possibly have been on a boat that went to Spain. You’ve got it wrong.”

Daft isn’t it.

The stereo sounds great but I've no idea where the dachshund has gone.

Well I think that if you are not in some kind of hostile emotional state (remember that you started calling names when your ideas got challenged) then maybe you are a comedian? Pragmatist is on a whole other level and way out of line I think.

This has gone on long enough, can we please get back to the original thread topic, or this thread will be closed.

...and rightly so: The manufacturer of the cable is called 'Anaconda'

Agree, and I’ll start by going all the way to the beginning.

Good day! Does it make sense to buy more expensive power cables (e.g., Audioquest) to get even more out of the Vibelink Amp and Ultra? Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks, Markus

Does it make sense? No. Zero, zilch, nada.

You’re welcome. Go forth and prosper with your money and sanity intact.

I feel the need to point out that this is NOT what I meant when I said I like upgrading cables for the look & feel, and to get the right length. Yeesh!

I’ll just flag for the mods (dunno who that even is, @RyanWithWiiM ? @harkpabst ?) that @Pragmatist is engaging in personal attacks, and using “China lackey” specifically as an insult, which isn’t only racist but racist against the people behind WiiM. I’d do something about that.

Waiting eagerly for a reaction and yes, China and its political standing is not on my "hope they like me" list and so ist the charlatan and lackey from ASR! Have a nice weekend

Just let them talk, they will reveal themselves. And when they do, believe them.

Yep, you’re coming across as a condescending arse there chap.

As a retired power specialist I would say he is spot on.

Power companies (or any company for that matter) do not spend money unnecessarily.

What ideas got challenged???

Did you read the post?

I stated with one bit of equipment I noticed no difference. With another I did.

Then the online bully squad steps in…
