Michael Fremer accepts the million-dollar cable challenge
Posted on October 18th, 2007 by admin
Audio luminary and analog journalist Michael Fremer (Stereophile, Musicangle.com) has accepted James Randi’s challenge. This should be very interesting. Well, even if it degrades into egomaniacal arguing, it’s probably all you’ll be reading about for the next 6-8 months.
Link to full story.
I’ll have opinions on this story as it unfolds. For now, I think the whole premise is flawed, and I doubt the test will ever happen.
We’ll see. We’re still at the negotiating stage of this. Since I will be footing the bill, I am insisting it takes place in my listening room. And since I don’t wish to be auditioning A/B/X boxes, which introduced their own impedance issues and switches and wires and connectors, this will have to be a “hard wired” test….Will it happen? Not sure. Do I want it to? Yes. And if I can’t hear a difference? Well we should all question our orthodoxies, and that includes the “amazing” Randi.
