" wrote So why does a reputable company like DAL engage in the design and manufacture of audiophile cables? The answer is simple: since significant do exist and because well-known and understood transmission line theory defines optimum relationships between such parameters as cable impedance and the impedance of the load (loudspeaker), the capacitance of an interconnect and the input impedance of the following stage, why not design cables that at least satisfy what theory has to teach? ] Have you ever priced out the cost of Dunlavy speaker cable ($50/ft)? It's considerably more expensive compared to zip cord. Is Dunlavy cable a rip-off... if it sounds the same as zip cord? From one of his speaker cable brochures he writes "Compared to major-brand loudspeaker cable selling for much more, the DAL-Z.8 is truly without peer in every category. We sincerely believe that you will detect an audible and relevant level of difference that will justify your consideration." So , when he (Dunlavy) states "We sincerely believe that you will detect an audible and relevant level of difference that will justify your consideration" what does that mean to you? Best regards, John Dunlavy Quack, quack, quack... Another case in point... John Dunlavy. TAS issue122. "In designing the Aletha, we made use of anechoic chamber measurements and listening comparisons with live voices,... There simply were no audible differences between the live and reproduced sound." Good marketing or blatant fraud? |

message link.net So why does a reputable company like DAL engage in the design and manufacture of audiophile cables? I don't Dunlavy Audio do much of anything - they were sold in 2001 or so, and seem to have drifted into obscurity. The http://www.dunlavyaudio.com domain seems to be up for grabs. |

Your original Dunlavy post was "hype," too. Unfortunately your empirical experiences with high-end cables is lacking as well, mr. troll . Best regards, John Dunlavy Quack, quack, quack...
