There's truth to this, and I don't have a problem with calling out a manufacturer who sells snake oil - high-end Ethernet cables for instance - but the issue I have is with you and your gang's ridicule of and dog-piling on audiophiles. In the AUDIOPHILE forum for chrissakes! A point - I like nice, thick, well-made cables, ones that cost a lot of money (which I can afford). I liken it to putting proper P0 tires on my Maserati. Would General tires from Green and Ross do just as well for way less money? Probably. Would I notice a difference? Probably not. But I'm not gonna do it. I would KNOW they're sub-par for the car. Same with my stereo. I won't put zip cord between my tube mono amp and my $30k speakers. Does the cable I have in there now sound better than zip cord? Seems to me like it does. Could I pick it out in an ABX test? No goddamn way - I'm not stupid. But still, I think it sounds best with these here high-end cables, so I'm going to leave them in. It works for me. AND WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME I'M WRONG? What gives you the right? Now, if I were to post in the General forum about how my thick, penis-enlarging cables sound better than zip cord - have at it. Crucify me. I'd deserve it. But if I want to talk about getting rid of upper-midrange glare by changing cables down here in the audiophile basement, why should I have to deal with a gang of petty goons calling me an idiot?
