Default Re: Audiophoolery. 'Cable Break In' - I never knew that!

There are good guys in the audio industry.

I know one very good engineer who was involved in a famous firm whose products were adulated beyond reason by pundits in the hifi press, yet they were the result of scientific, rational, good, engineering. The chief honcho of that firm was more than a bit of a showman and inclined to say things planned to shock. The press loved him. It must have been difficult deciding how to design things and what not to say so that the 'glamour' wasn't blown away inadvertently. It was certainly very profitable.

The problem with the audio industry as a whole (and plenty of other industries as well) is that those who haven't a clue make a lot more noise than the quiet, considerate folk. But it is the quiet ones who are most valuable.
