It's hilarious how we all love this subject even though we all say we hate it. haha!

It's like questioning someone's religion or something!

The Nordost Odin PC Version 1's are better than the newer V2's and vice versa on speaker cables. The V2 PC's are using in-house developed connector ends -- not Furutech. The V2 speaker cables are much better than the V1's -- also the V2's have a strengthening membrane.

Best Sir,

Bob

Yep, I'm one of those who roll my eyes at "cable controversy" theads. I think they should immediately be banned from all internet audio forums since there will NEVER be a consensus.

Forum rules: no politics, religion, cable discussions.

What I find most interesting in these type of discussions (No there is no difference vs. Yes I can hear a difference) is that it is always the Nay sayers that seem to be the most aggressive ones. Why is this? I have yet to read a post saying: "What do you mean you can't hear a difference. That is BS. You are a fool. Must be deaf, etc."
Why is it so provocative to read that someone is experiencing a difference - weather it is with amps, dacs, cables, reclockers or cable lifters?
