Exotic audiophile cables are luxury goods. The manufacturers and suppliers of luxury goods invest a lot of time and effort building positive associations that their customers pick up along with the product.

So why don't you enjoy being smarter than an audiophile believer? nuhi;336109 Wrote: > Been a believer myself, now I feel robbed. Don't you feel you have grown wiser from the experience?

Very much so although scam is perhaps a bit too strong. It is an exploding phenomenon in our society and the more it is picked up on the quicker will come the swing back in the other direction. Stephen Colbert had some fun with the word truthiness a few years ago which I expected to stick a lot more than it did. nuhi;336109 Wrote: > Lets not debate it, it is an old story, faith prevails reason with > majority of people. Why post if you do not want to discuss it? People are people. The trend away from reason towards faith is a fairly recent phenomenon after hundreds of years of moving in the other direction. The forces behind it are well illustrated by your audiophile cables. 30 years ago essentially nobody believed in magic audio cables but look at the situation today.
