So, let the games begin!<\/p>\n
We began listening to five or so carefully selected song passages, less than one minute each, to expose one facet of sound or another.\u00a0 These were played on a loop with each cable, same tracks, same order, same volume.<\/p>\n
By the third cable I stopped listening entirely.<\/p>\n
I zoned out to reflect upon all my beliefs over my 30 some years I have been on this earth. Had everything I knew about electronics been a lie? Was this even my reality? Am going to I wake up barely remembering this profound experience in a cold sweat (aka was I dreaming)?<\/p>\n
Then once the pause between the songs broke the silence, I was fully awake and entirely re-engaged. I continued listening intently. I could not get enough of what I was hearing, not necessarily because it was hearing if \u2018this\u2019 cable was better or worse than the \u2018last\u2019 cable, but because of the vast differences between each cable. I continued listening, hearing differences and jotting down my notes for each cable. Upon completion of the test, this was a test after all, I put my name at the top and like a good student turned it into the teacher.<\/p>\n

Immediately after, and once a libation or two was consumed, we began to discuss and ponder the exponential number of variables that come into play when creating and implementing power cords in an audio system. The guys that built these first few prototypes began explaining some of the things that they had found to make significant sonic differences on a few different audio systems. One even found that it had made his microwave work better! OK, just kidding.<\/p>\n
Another notable piece of information that cemented what I had heard was the fact the no less than all of us heard differences in each design and 75% of us involved heard and noted the same exact things. That\u2019s a passing score where I went to school! So, I\u2019m not the only one hearing this (and\/or am crazy)! \u00a0And I passed!<\/p>\n
This day was for me a very memorable and enlightening experience. The kind that makes you ponder life itself (or at least our knowledge of electrical theory).<\/p>\n
That day is also what would be known as the beginning of Finley Audio.<\/p>\n
We have worked very hard to produce a line of products that we feel is a better sounding cable than you can buy for the same price from anyone else. \u00a0This is subjective however, so I encourage you to listen for yourself. But I am confident that you will in fact – at the very least – hear the difference a cable can make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
