All I'm going to do now is find a pint of Guinness.

(and since I can't find that "rhyming in other languages thread" right now)

Well, let's let some of the more physics-oriented folks comment, ok? :p

We can also say that I've found no need to use that particular service.
 
I'm not taking ANY more audio advice from you since the "green magic marker incident". My CD collection is forever besmirtched. :mad:

Kidding aside, thats about the dumbest thing I've ever seen, short of the Mpingo garbage.

You mean http://www.shunmook.com/text1.htm?

You know, I'd forgotten about that one, mostly. Its amazing what a mind can do, isn't it?
 
you've really opened shown me a whole world of kookiness i never knew existed jj. Whats sad is that sometimes these people obviously have some technical training, but as with most such training its clearly been given without an accompanying "big picture" view on proper science....
 
This really allows the cables to perform at there optimum efficiency and sonic peak.

We are happy to advise and discuss any issue's you have concerning our cable burning service.

Just one more example, gentle readers, of the correlation between pathetic grammar and dubious services.

You don't have to know about audio and all the english you need to know is one word-

Crap

It means that there is another useless, idiotic gadget for audidiots to spend their hard-earned money on.

Overshoot? Ringing? In a digital signal?

Duno the context, so I can't say for sure, but I was sorta hoping Tez would comment on their physical chemistry...
 
Wow, this is a sweet gig. They could do nothing and claim to have "cooked" your cables. How are you going to prove that they didn't?
 
Cooking the cables? Well...a high voltage high amperage blast, just to burn off any of them pesky little shavings that get across things...other than that, bupkis...what's to burn it? There's no diode or capacitor effects anywhere, so no need to establish potentials across some sort of interface or dielectric...this crap about one hour on their machine equaling one week on yours (168 hours = 1 week) is the biggest load of hooey...hook 'em up, and don't turn the bleedin' thing off for a week...the electric bill will be cheaper than their service charges.

Just another pseudo-scientific piece of claptrap to trap the pseudo- scientific out there...
 
Whatever you do DON'T press the link "Tecnical" unless you wan't to spend the rest of the day screaming with laughter (if you know just a little bit about physics). :hb:

Thank you jj, you really saved a rainy day here at good ole Bang & Olufsen.

Ah feel yore pain.

Their name must stand for Oh My God Audio. Audiophiles must be some of the most gullible suckers ever. I suppose that's what happens now that you don't actually need to know anything about electronics to have a hi-fi.

It reminds me of an experience I had as a kid, though. An 1/8 " phono patch cable of mine had developed a short somewhere. I couldn't fix it because it was one of those plastic-molded jobbies, and I couldn't do without it because I was quite poor. I figured that it was just a strand of that braided shielding that had come loose. So I charged up one of those 3*40 microfarad capacitors that came in the kiddie one-tube record players I could find on the street and discharged it across the cable. After three or four times, the short got hot enough to melt, and the cable was fine until the end of its days.
 
Oh my, what a way to start my Friday. If somebody liked Monster Cable, they'll really go for this. I wonder how many takers they've had so far for their "service".

Oh, you're at B&O? Tell Soren I said "Hi", ok?

But it's your fault, I pushed the "technical' link and I nearly spilled my coffee!!!

That is special, well, err, um, something or other.
 
Okay, tell me, how's this for a sales pitch. Please be sure to read it all the way through.

To fully break in new audio cables requires you to run them at high volume for nearly 200 hours. This can be hard on your electric bill and your neighbors. Our service will break in your cables in less than an hour through our patented Primary Sound technology.

Regular sound or music systems send a specific frequency less than 1 percent of the time but allow you to run at a high power. White noise and pink noise generators send out the full frequency range but are severely limited in the power per frequency they can produce.

All non-prime numbers are made up of prime numbers, we can send the entire range of auditory prime frequencies representing over 4000 Frequencies from 1 to 40,009. Because we are only using 4000 different frequencies we can send a higher total power and a higher power per band. This allows a quicker and more even break in giving cleaner sound without negatively affecting cable life. In fact, regular use can increase cable life by 200%. Annual or semi-annual "reburning" can remove bandwidth and auditory "hot spots" that can occur if the cables are used to play only a few types of music.

I just spent my lunch eating a burrito and composing this tripe. Think anyone would fall for it? Think I could make money if I offered this service?
