Any reasonable person would agree that there are all sorts of audio chicanery and charlatans in the high end praying on fools with more money and/or insecurity than common sense.
Rather than just blindly pronouncing that "EVERYTHING" makes a difference, it would be far less disingenuous if you were to qualify that by noting that not EVERY difference is audible, or that many "differences" are subjective and based more on a variety of biases rather than actual differences.
To each his own. I do find it odd that people can bash class d in the amps forum but can't even question the most ridiculous claims on cables...
