Arny - what you will find (and are finding) around here is that the many us are trying to bring back some respect to the term "audiophile". As it now stands the term "audiophile", outside of audiophile circles, is one of derision and scorn, since, for example, just about anyone with most basic understanding of how computers and digital data works knows that $500 USB cable is just a snake oil ripoff. What you are seeing now is just another attempt of the gullible audiophiles to reclaim this section. However that will not happen since so many of us have worked so hard to make this section a small beacon of light in the audiophile darkness. Despite all the evidence that has been presented to them over and over and over again they still chose to believe their clay footed gods of high end audio, much like the fanboy cult that surrounds the world of Apple. Perhaps I'll get bored one day and post a short manifesto outlining some of the things needed to make the term "audiophile" once again mean something other a fool.
