I was wrong: not all expensive speaker wire is simply jewelry to be put on display

Oh ye nay Sayers. I have these exact same cables on my iFI Phono preamp.

now I don't exactly know where the iFI ends and the cable starts but.......

A pair comes with a guarantee that any attached audio equipment will float in extreme high water.

@У кого кабель толще? / Stereo.ru

 

I used to know a Russian tube amps (really good ones) and CD analogue stages (a very clever triode gear - this was before Musical Fidelity introduced their X-10D and it worked better being a complete analogue stage not just a buffer) designer in the 90s. The guy used to bring quite weird cable stuff from his home country which BTW is Ukraine now - for example carbon cables used in MIG fighters or cables made of rare earth metals. I wouldn't be suprised by the weirdest stuff coming from this geographic area. Audiophiles there AFAIK happen to be (almost) as crazy as the Japanese. So if someone told me they discovered that some weird material cables swallowed by a python (I mean the cables in question) sound great and they actually feed the snakes with them, dry them out and sell them I'd probably be (almost) ready to believe it.

Ps.

 

Stealth Audio's Serguei Timachev showing off his 'Dream' series of cables ;)

'Stereo Times' reviewer described them as the thickest ones he's ever seen.

Anyway I think their WAF is slightly higher than WAF of this thread's 'Monty Python' cables.

We should ride soon. I just put on a new crank -- made in Petaluma.

 

Hey Bill. Hope you are doing well. I knew White Industries was up here doing great hubs. Who are fabricating cranks?????

I got a 46-30T.

 

I've got their hubs, too, on my "winter" wheelset.

Looks cool. Not as cool as the mysterious cables though. Sold my mountain bike 3 months ago. I've been doing my workout mostly at home in recent years. But I'm afraid some day I'm gonna miss it.

Very nice! I did not know they made cranks. They really do quality work.

That is a work of art. I really do love the Bianchi Celeste green. When one is coming down the road you have no doubt that it is a Bianchi.
