I've been doing my own ic cable comparisons between two pair. The first couple of changes surprised me. I noticed a fairly large difference, soundstage, clarity, harshness, an overall improvement. Every change of cables after that, the difference was less and less, until I couldn't tell which was which. Why does that happen? Does that mean I'm one of the lucky ones who can get by with trash cables? After two hours of this, all I have to show for it is, a pounding migraine, a sore back, and my dog cowering in the corner. If I had been warned that an audiophiles way of life can cause so much pain, and probably a decrease in life expectancy, I would've taken up something much less physical.
Lastly, I'm running a cable from the digital out on my cdp, to the dac. What, if any, is the difference between a digital cable, and an everyday audio cable, and why do I care? Thanks

John
