We were lucky enough to have one of the top cable designers in the world actively participating and sharing here. I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to find out he was driven off by the usual crew that knows so much more than he could ever hope to know.

 

Sorry but the top cable guys aren't in high end audio. If I need information about wire the first place I go is AT&T. For USB and Ethernet, I look up some old golfing buddies at Intel.

And what experience do they have with cable for audio purposes?

 

Mani.

 

Lots actually that's why I talk with them.

Where's your evidence for this?

 

The problems, challenges and money are elsewhere. Can I remind you how small high end audio is just in audio?

I don't consider that sufficient evidence for your assertion. Now, had you merely speculated, that would have been different.

 

Mani.

 

My golfing buddies at Intel were some of the guys who created the USB and Ethernet standards and love music. The people at AT&T move music around and love music. The glib answer is show me someone in high end audio other than Paul Klipsch who put two commas worth of income on a tax return.

I'm sure they're all very impressive in their respective fields. But it doesn't prove that no audio cable company has people of the same calibre.

 

 

Well, being brilliant in your field doesn't necessarily mean you're great at business - someone like Pat Di Giacomo springs to mind (no offense to Pat).

 

What about someone like Nelson Pass for someone in high end audio who has "put two commas worth of income on a tax return"?

 

Mani.

 

Mani who can I meet at T.H.E. Show 18 or RMAF 18 that would be of the  same caliber as the people I go to? I haven't met  any at the Los Angeles shows or RMAF 16 and 17. 

 

And yes I understand your point about brilliance, my grandfather is in the Water Works Hall of Fame and the people of Chicago were grateful for clean drinking water.

 

And I'm talking about a million dollars of wages, partnership and/or S Corp earnings. Did Nelson Pass  have income like that?

I’m curious, who do you call or go see at the golf track when you need a new toothbrush? 

 

What a silly question I get mine free.

“In the United States Audiophile Style.com today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism. They have formed their own 4-H Club — the ‘hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history.'"

 

Once you rise to level of being wrong I'll comment.

What I'm saying you not even wrong .  I hope you aren't thinking you are correct in your comments. That would be unfortunate.

Can anyone recommend a forum where people talk about audio rather than criticize other people?  This is neither interesting nor fun anymore.

 

Well I've been enjoying Todd Snider most of the day. Final song will be "The Rose City Blues" and a good day will be almost over.
