Does it really make a difference what pov you hold , those that believe have fun in their beliefs and they percieve value in their fancy capble choices (I too use kimber D60 and orchid AES/EBU and am quite happy with the pric I paid and the thought that im using the best so not missing anything) Those that dont derive satisfaction in the fact that they havent spent what they percieve as a waste on their cables. At the end of it all , no one camp is gonna change their outlook , you might sway one or 2 but trying to change a non believer to a beleiver is like trying to convert a staunch roman catholic to hinduism. My POV is that I do beleive cables make a difference within reason , I wouldnt spend huge bucks on cabling as I beleive that there is a point at which it doesnt matter and you get huge diminsishing returns for the money. I also tweak in terms of using decent power cables , isolation etc etc , but these are cheap... perhaps I dont get any real benefit on a double blind listening test , but its irrelevant , It's my money to spend as I like and tweaking is cool if its not budget blowing. I drag race cars too , I spent a lot of money on my engines in terms of polishing parts , braided hoses etc , none of which give me more performance, Same with car interior/exterior , tyres and rims etc , but I dont feel gypped at all. Its my male jewellery , just like my hifi , pride of ownership , bragging rights etc are all important in terms of the satisfaction I get. Albeit Hifi is supposed to use one sense only , hearing , the other senses come into play , if the system looks good , it adds to enjoyment , if you feel you using all the right stuff , it adds to enjoyment. If you have audiophile angst about ANYTHING in the system , it will NEVER sound good.
