There's a big difference between letting "people live out their idiosyncrasies" and a reviewer stating an outright lie (saying that two properly functioning USB cables sound different is a lie). I don't care that people are willing to spend lots of money trying to improve the sound of their audio system but I do care when that desire or idiosyncrasy is exploited for profit.
