very true. I guess it is up to the individual to make the final decision. Having made some cables myself I can understand that a cable can potentially cost hundreds of $/£ per meter. The question is : when does the performance / cost ratio drop off so much that no difference can be heard anymore. For me the art is to get that balance right "peu import" if the price is low or high. edit: of course, the lower the price the artier the cable IMHO.

Did someone somewhere mention a half price, or cut price, SLIC? Or did I imagine it ??  |

It was first mentioned here, Bev. |

10 cm @ £50 ? - it seems that SLIC is getting some competition price wise from this place - of all places NVA prices are transparent , price reflects costs of the cable , labour and overheads and the same element built in for reasonable profit . The high price of this cable reflects labour and high raw cable charge .
It is of course available on a money back guarantee
MODERATION: no need to denigrate other products
p.s - Can we stop all this "its up to you how you spend your money nonsense" , its economic appeasement" .

Are you now NVA's chief spokesperson ?
If so your post could be termed as shilling.

My post is factual and counter balancing . For all I know the cable could be ineffective or brilliant .
Some of your posts are silly .

And if you do not have intimate knowledge of how OTHER manufacturers work out their prices then your comments are almost libellous. |

Factual information is always welcome, but beware of being accused of shilling - which I can see that you're not doing. However, others have been very liberal in their fanciful accusations of shilling whereas in fact I know of only one proven case on another forum.

Hah! It's a journey and you missed out the bit where I made improvements to my system, so what previously sounded good no longer works as well as my older cables. If you're always honest with your findings, then you'll always take the right path. No placebos here! Indeed. I also think it's important not to get sucked into hype, and let's face it, whatever you think of Slic, ridiculously hyped-up (by the original reviewer and its supplier) is precisely what it was!  And *that* was always liable to get people's backs up, regardless of how good the product actually was............. Marco. |

The hype emanated primarily from one person who became extremely over-enthusiastic and exaggerated the likely effect on a system beyond all possibility of any cable having that effect.
Others seem to have either tried it and liked it, or tried it and disliked it, which is fair enough.

What I said was factual - read his website . As you yourself go on to admit , facts can not be derogatory . I am confused by your moderation ,.
it says " an interconnect that can only be described as the nearest thing to having no cable in your system. The Slic Innovations "Eclipse C" will both shock and astound in equal measures, you will not believe what you are hearing. Famouly invented in Huddersfield!
benefits are simple to describe, this cable will allow you to hear detail that is in the recordings you listen to every day but the cables you were using did not reveal them"
On the same website there is for sale numerous other cables which are more expensive !

Yeah sure, Martin, I agree. The point I was making, though, is that the biggest contributory factor for why Slic has generated so much 'heat' is because of the way it was originally introduced on AoS. We've learned a lot of lessons from that!  Marco. |

As for libel , you are wrong and the reasons other price structure are not transparent , is obvious . I challenge any other manufacturer to come on here and lay bare their price structure . Perhaps pinke will tell us how the funk can sell a cable at £1800 a meter . He's an accountant , he may already know .

But why should any manufacturer need to justify what something cost ?
If you think something is "too expensive" then don't buy it. Simples.
Most of us, by now, have realised what your political leanings are, but do we need to have them shoved in our face so often ?
Anyway, I thought politics was a banned subject on here.

Your post is incongruous .
You seem to suggest a preference for placid pleasant posts and yet you juxtapose this suggestion with an inflammatory question ?

For once we agree. I can't stand politics - most of it bores the pants off of me! Total yawnsville. It's the very last thing I'd choose to read about on a hi-fi and music forum, or anywhere, period. Change the record, danny-boy... BOOORRRRINNGGG! Marco. |

I remain perplexed , except for the continuation threads [ what you are you listening to etc ] the most read and active threads are ones in which I have expressed my brilliant opinions |

If you could lose the "indoctrination" of your political belief I'm sure there would be hearty applause from the majority. |
