James Randi: "Wire is not wire. I accept that."
I sent this email to: ' "Greetings, I am an "audio quack" as you would put it. I can hear sonic differences between amplifiers, CD players, even WIRE, speaker wire. Is your challenge applicable to, for instance, speaker cables? The self made speaker cables I am currently using (you are free to measure and examine these using pink noise, etc, prior to putting them to the test) against radioshack lamp cords. I am claiming that I can hear the difference as to which is employed each and every time. Since "wire is wire" this must fall into the realm of your challenge. I do have my reservations though: !) A revealing amplifier (densen beat b 100 mk5, for instance), high quality speakers (sonus faber cremona floorstanders for instance) and a decent CD player will be used to conduct the test. !!) No abx comparator boxes in between, the wires should be interchanged manually. !!!) Someone I trust (but of course I will not have any sort of eye contact, or any form of other contact with him/her duration of the test) to actually observe that the wires are being changed (or not) and the data recorded" James Randi replied that: "There are big differences between lamp cord and larger-gauge cable. That's not the question, at all. Wire is not wire. I accept that." More on "challenging the million dollar challenge" later. This post, on a FYI basis. |

Shows how little you understand about the "wire is wire" claim, Fella. Nobody is saying that 36 gauge magnet wire when used as speaker cable will sound just like 12 gauge heavy speaker wire. Well, apparently nobody but you! James Randi replied that: "There are big differences between lamp cord and larger-gauge cable. That's not the question, at all. Wire is not wire. I accept that." Randi obviously knows that the "wire is wire" claim relates to wire of similar size and length. But, it's quite clear that you don't, Fella. So consider this a little friendly advice. "Wire is wire" applies to wires of similar size and length. |

Shows how little you understand about the "wire is wire" claim, Fella. None of that cocky attitude now you cockhead ****! If you are going to addrss me you better mind your manners or I will beat the living **** out of that soulless ****borg existence of yours (virtualy that is just as before so watch it. Nobody is saying that 36 gauge magnet wire when used as speaker cable will sound just like 12 gauge heavy speaker wire. He never asked anything about gauge or length, or any magnets therein. I can also hear the HUUUUUUGE difference between stock rca connectors and audioquest anacondas, for instance, both of them being one meter in length. So could you, if you would teach yourself to listen. Well, apparently nobody but you! Mind your manners you **** of a dumbduck. Besides, why the anger? Why the exclamation marks?? If I am missing some obvious point that everybody else knows shouldn't you be sneering and making jackal hounding laughing noises, making fun of me?? WHY THE ANGER YOU ****!?!?! James Randi replied that: "There are big differences between lamp cord and larger-gauge cable. That's not the question, at all. Wire is not wire. I accept that." Randi obviously knows that the "wire is wire" claim relates to wire of similar size and length. You are full of horse**** you ****. Size or length was not mentioned there! How do you know, or Randi for that matter, what is the "gauge" of my speaker wire that I am putting up against radio shack lamp cord? HOW THE F.CK DO YOU KNOW THAT FROM THE TRANSACTION QUOTED ABOVE!!! Insulation, the material used for insulation, strand interaction is hell of a lot important with speaker wire. I just debunked the "wire is wire" bull****, that's it. The reason for your chihuahua anger. But, it's quite clear that you don't, Fella. You have the credibility of a cockroach, now more then ever, you know that don't you? So consider this a little friendly advice. "Wire is wire" applies to wires of similar size and length. LOL! When the "challenge" is challenged there seems to be no end in excuses. "Wire is wire when both wires are same gauge radio shack lamp cords fellaaaaa, you should know that fellaaaaaa" LOL! What a load of bull****! Yeah, this is only the beginning. The "wire is wire" borg notion is hereby DEBUNKED! As Randi says: "Wire is not wire. I accept that." Ok, ferstler, cockroach of a krueger, the terrosists or whatever terrorist brown shirts, start barking y'all. :=) NOTE: I have asked and received full confirmation from James Randi that I can quote him. Examining what the challenge is about, even some aspects that touch the audio scene, I am fully supportive of it, the million dollar challenge, the idea behind it. Used against TV evangelists, for instance, or the likes of the ****borg, it is a worthwhile endeavour. My only aim is to debunk some borgs lurking around here who think that with a pink noise generator, a misunderstanding of what psychoacustics is all about, a db meter, or whatever primitive lab-rat device they can pre-determine what my ears can or cannot hear, remotely. LOL! |

Insulation, the material used for insulation, strand interaction is hell of a lot important with speaker wire. Really? Really. Live and learn ****borg. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz! That's right, go to sleep, you haven't been debunked, it's all a bad dream, everything will be as same when you wake up tomorrow. |

It's a prediction of the obvious. BTW Fella, I predict that if you jump off a Freeway bridge, you'll probably not improve your health. Sue me for predicting the future! |
