Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
About a year ago, I was asked to look at a Project turntable.
There was a very loud hum which couldn't be cured. I noticed he had some very expensive cables connecting the turntable to the amplifier, he told me he paid £200 for them.
Electrically I couldn't find anything wrong with them but on a hunch made up a phono cable from my reel of reasonably good quality cable and some gold plugs.
My cable completely cleared them hum and the system worked perfectly.
I dont know if he was happy or angry.
Happy that I'd cleared the fault. or Angry that my cables that cost a few pounds worked whereas his £200 cable did not.
