Silver High Breed Quintessence Speaker Cable

[pobox-123]

Nice review!

I've bought a pair of 1m Silver High Breed Quintessence interconnects. I'm looking forward to trying them on my system.

But especially SHB threads.Like shillings from heaven.

Thats what fucks me off, sick of hearing about the things. Surely his shills must have a full set of cables now so why do they bother? :dunno:

 

[Howlindawg]

Christ, here it goes again.

The SHBs are absolutely fine Shane.

If you need a new cable they're a decent choice.

If you already have a decent cable then they're unlikely to be an upgrade.

The Vitriol you're reading is more aimed at the endless threads that appear about the cables than at the cables themselves.

Actually, the Vitriol is becoming more tiresome than the SHB threads ever were.

Spot on Martin.

Right on, but if there were no threads shilling them, there would be no vitriol posted in those threads. It's not like anyone's started a thread just to slag them off.

 

[steve rb]

just out of curiosity - at what point do 'shilling' and 'good product, good reputation' cross? Genuinely can't see how you make the distinction. I know SHB always causes a ruck on here, but why them any more than the next cable or product that has a 'following'?

 

[i_should_coco]

Probably because they get someone posting a glowing review every 2-3weeks or so and being a cable thread, it tends to live on for quite a while. People get bored after a couple of weeks or so, and it's not then long before someone posts another.

No, Just a member starting a thread asking for some information.

Instead of a constructive answer he got the usual drivel calling into question the integrity of a small business owner and his satisfied customers.

:shf:

In this case, perhaps. But this small business has more "satisfied customers" than average, starting threads on internet forums about how wonderful his products are. It's not too hard to add up.

The OP has been a member here since May last year and has posted over 900 times.

Has he really never seen a Silver High Breed thread before?

If you do a search there are 5 pages of results, the subject has been done to death, it starts to look like piss taking product placement and makes the Wam look like a soft touch for cheap advertising.

 

[Howlindawg]

Meh...

When I see a group of individuals that are normally helpful, cogent and knowledgable come over all rabid and foaming at the mouth it's quite obvious that buttons have been pushed.

However unsubstantiated allegations against the integrity of an individual can be damaging.

Perhaps as the owner of a small business myself I'm more sensitive to these things.

Such allegations were inappropriate in James' XTZ review and they seem equally inappropriate here.

But enough.

I have no wish to start an argument. :hug:

 

[i_should_coco]

It's a fine line, and you have to be careful. Perception is everything and I agree, it's easy to perceive wrongdoing when there is none. But the sheer frequency of these threads (this is backed up by the search function) is very suspicious.

Anyway, it's only the internet...

 

[JamPal]

EDIT

Must read whole thread before posting.

Just to be clear, I was not accusing anyone of shilling.

 

[mr.me]

Nice one Craig. Keep us posted as they break in. After a while put your old speaker cables back in and that will tell you straight away whether the new Q's are better.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Are they burning-in or are your ears just getting used to them?

Could be that Phil,who can say?

Just played "A promise kept" by James Horner from the Titanic Special Edition album and I have to say it sounded astounding, deep deep lows, and very detailed top end/treble

 

[Papa Lazarou]

You have the soundtrack to Titanic?

I'm sorry but that is seriously :hom:
