Gold leads: how to throw suckers
Yesterday in Copenhagen I walked into a large store selling all sorts of speakers, headphones and audio equipment. Went in for one, happened to me a few people who, I thought, well-versed in all that fancy equipment. Looked different loudspeakers, listened, and then my eyes fell on the stand with the wires.
Look, the boxes are beautiful, and the prices... Some of the Postings meters sell for 250 000! Another of the same, only the color of the box is different, worth 180,000 rubles. Meter leads! As my entire home theater. Free advice: if you were an audiophile, talk to him about anything, just don't ask about the wire.
I made a mistake and asked... My companions immediately got excited, as if the whole day was waiting for this question, and began excitedly to tell me what a great the wire is and how it can efficiently transmit the sound to the speakers for 3 million rubles.
Usually audiophiles make a face like Jehovah's witnesses, in their eyes, there is light and encouragement. Are you ready to let some warm harmonics in your heart?
Then begins an audiophile "secret" to talk about the merits of the wire. Better "reveals the wood of the violin there, or here, for example, a real description of what the audiophile hears the cable: "Sound rich in nuances, shades, textured and multifaceted. Timbral flow smooth, bass, mid a bit stressed in the nuances and articulations of the vocal parts, the upper frequency multifaceted and delicate. In sound with very good detail and dynamics is dominated by emotions and nuances. Scene it turns a medium width, deep, lively and iridescent, with good localisation and intensity of the images, but at the same time with a sufficient quantity of air and the feeling of free space".
It seems to me, marketers who come up with this nonsense, pay extra for the harm. The audiophile is a disease. Dangerous mental illness like any other mental disorder that creeps up unnoticed. First drive, "not" playing, then you need a better amplifier, and then starts the epic with the wires – and, later, the man was gone. Psychologists like to say: "the Broad stage and directed wire – grief in the family".
Usually audiophiles do not understand how to work electronic equipment, and what is happening with sound and electricity for them – real magic. It is not surprising that they seriously think about what the cables before listening to need to "warm up with good music that electrons in copper sliced right path." Without the sucker life is bad.
"If you listen to the CD through a bad cheap cable will sound just awful, but thus record is the insult that will affect the quality of subsequent auditions!" At least so say the people who look you in the eye, trying to sell a piece of beautiful wire for half a million rubles.
And then my eyes fell on a nearby stand. That is, network cables for audiophiles? BUT THEY'RE DIGITAL! THERE IS ALSO ERROR CORRECTION!!! And here again, the audiophiles took to convince me that there are some unexplored by mankind effects, effects on hearing.
Experts explained that poor wire the ones and zeros are swapped, lost, one climbs on another, in General, if you are on a bad wire will be music to swing, instead of Zemfira can hear the Hope of Kadysheva. And this is no joke!
Where sellers and experts to know that a great power cord, we usually stick to twenty socket with copper wire "SUPP" for 20 rubles/meter with thousands of connections to power...
There was a case when one time over the audiophile tested, suggesting that blind testing a few wires. Subjects excitedly rushed to tell you about the "breadth of field", "aerial images" and "energetic flow". Then it turned out that the organizers switched one of the wires hanger out of aluminum wire, and none of the experts did not notice the difference. NO!
Experts rushed to dissuade me – they say, need to hear, you do not understand, the effect is! So if you broke the first rule and talked with an audiophile about the wires, try to at least not argue with him. The case is harmful: at best you will lose time, at worst you'll ruin your relationship! Look, the wire is 220 thousand rubles per square meter, and they are even packing to do decently lazy. The wire with the taste of fire? HA HA!
Like, adequate people, secured, manage large business and lots of employees, but as soon as I see a piece of wire with a pretentious description for crazy money, pens audiophile finely start to shake in anticipation as he'll stick this cable into your sound system.
Well, how can a cable transmit data to give a flavor of cinnamon or vodka? But that's not all. See the arrows on the wires? This! Audiophiles seriously think that the cable has its direction, before listening it is necessary to warm up with good music, and under the cable to put the wood podstavochki for only 500$/PC.
In this place it is only necessary to sympathize with the audiophile and be happy for marketers, which has placed so many people on the gold wires. But passing by Sergey! I was waiting for Sergey's support, I expected that he will intercede for me, and together we will inflict a crushing blow to the audiophile. Sergei could be my Savior, but no... At the crucial moment he betrayed me, like the Hungarian journalist, who set the bandwagon running to save the border to refugees.
— There is such a thing, Ilya, I'm not an audiophile, but I can say that things are not so simple. Wire, of course, should be Golden. And if the files to overwrite using bad wires, they spoil! I have that picture when you copy got corrupted because the wire was bad! And recently, the Mona Lisa someone took a picture and when the picture on the computer was rewritten, where Putin got! Putin, from Mona Lisa! I haven't seen, but I have no reason not to trust what they write on the Internet, — shared their experiences Sergei.
Connoisseurs of fine perversions you can enjoy a whole range of cables from mini-USB to charger for the iPhone. Their value depends on how much silver is contained in their stuffing. But these guys manage to sell mediocre wire for iPhone 4 (!) almost 9 thousand rubles. As for the wiring Diamond, it generally will cost 36 000! There are still and the length depends. For example, a three-meter Diamond mini-USB will cost like a new iPhone. Such bought Serge to have his photos were copied without loss.
And now I'll show you an audiophile set of cables for 6 MILLION rubles! 6 million for carbon fiber wrap, fishnet and a box of cheap cardboard. These wires are no different from the usual black cords for a hundred rubles. Do not be surprised if within a normal black cord is. Model kit "GOOF-9000".
The Chinese are using fake iPhones pack better than this junk.
The smaller the brain, the thicker the cable. How stupid you have to be to seriously buy this garden hose? I am glad that Russia is so no one and did not sell. But it could be, our people.
But a funny thing happened after the store. Experts in sound started to tell me that the stores did not fit for sale, and their wire they bought at special sites for suckers.
There you can buy a special device for grinding the edge of the disk so that it then can be painted with a black marker, and a laser ray will not run away! Well, the crown of creation is a special liquid, which you need to sprinkle on equipment and people (!!!), to remove the static electricity that interferes with the audition!!!
I don't believe it, went to Google and found out that the stories about the liquid – it's an old April fool's joke one of the shops audio.
But audiophiles do NOT BELIEVE that this is a joke, and now in all seriousness to sprinkle each other from the jar! How? How is this possible? We have rockets flying into space, the 3D printer print house, and audiophiles can't read a physics textbook for the eighth grade?
I think that the audiophile needs to officially register as a mental illness. Forced to treat, listening to the music from "Vkontakte" through the hanger, and cables to the push tractor as geese. Hundreds of people spend huge amounts of electrolyte from the nozzle virgins and oxygen-free copper, when they could invest in the economy of the country. Where are our MPs when you need them?
