note the following ~
Please note
For technical reasons we are unable to Burn-In any of our SCART cables.
they actually have a BURN IN Service for all the cables they are able to:idea:0 -
Methinks you read too many books and actually believe what they are trying to flog you.
Oh and insults prove one thing only to me...:rolleyes:0 -
I really dont
I have all sorts of cables from various manufacturers ~ NONE of which im trying to sell and NONe of which ive been blagged into buying. And i can assure you its true as ive been into my hifi since I was 12 years old and put ALL sorts to the test in that time.
if anyone IS interested I can put them in the right direction ~ unless its you of course
YOU started with the 'insult' which only proves to me how close minded YOU are:idea:0 -
We are talking Scart Leads, not " Hi-Fi " I think we all know how gullible some of the " Hi-Fi " experts are.
The cable makers just love you people. :rolleyes:0 -
pull up ANY evidence you can to prove me otherwise mr no brainer :rolleyes:
You're the one who has to substantiate their claims, not us. You've participated in an independently monitored double-blind test have you?
It might interest you to know that James Randi is offering $1,000,000 to anyone who can prove that expensive speaker cables sound better. Why aren't you rich yet?
As for burning in cables, it's utter pseudo-scientific nonsense. And even if it did affect the sound (which it doesn't), most people's listening rooms have peaks and troughs of 10 dB or more all over the place, so it's unlikely to make any difference anyway. You'd have been better off getting an acoustic engineer to design you a listening room, than spending money on silly cables.
Isn't it funny that "burn-in" always makes things sound better? You'd expect it to have a totally random affect on the sound. But strangely, "audiophiles" think that whatever they do with their system it sounds better. I wonder why that could be?
And what about silver mains cables? I'm pretty sure that there are miles and miles of the cheapest copper cable imaginable between my house and the power station. How is a few feet of silver cable stuck on the end going to improve things? Have you rewired the grid to your house?0 -
its purely because the signal going to your tv's box then to the picture has less cable.....less resistance therefore better quality of signal
i don't know about burning in....but i do know that the longer the cable the less quality you get at the other endIf you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0 -

Anyone who would spend over £100 on a scart lead needs their head testing.
This Russ Andrews is little more than a con-artist IMO.0 -
And they can't burn them in for you!

Mate i'm behind you.....it IS important to have quality cables (gold etc) due to there low resistence (therefore better signal strength, which equals better picture quality, better sound etc)If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
