"Bottom line is that until you have actually tried swapping out some high performance cables with an open and honest ear, you are just whistling in the dark."-You sound a lot like Drlowmu.
"The would be saviors really don't want to save, they just end up denigrating folks who have gotten past the ideological hump of the realization that EVERYTHING in an audio system makes a difference."
-Please, cables don't make enough difference to warrant all this nonsensical babbling, let alone a dedicated forum.
"Why is it that most folks will allow that amps, preamps, disc players, DAC's and most any audio device can sound different, despite virtually identical specs or measurements, yet cables MUST all sound the same?"
-These are way more complex. What "specs" are you referring too? there are way more ways to measure devices.
It's like saying two cars go a 100mph so they must be the same in every aspect."Are $15,000 power cords or speaker cables crazy? Sure, so is a $500,000 car, or (in my opinion) a $10,000 golf club. But when folks discuss the latter two, there is never the animosity we see with high performance/high end audio gear, just the oft expressed wish that they could afford such a luxury. "
-Hmm, I wonder what kind of cables a $500,000 car has? I bet you would pay for a $500,000 Geo Metro if it was painted gold with rhodium hubcaps.
"Folks at the Cable Asylum just want to be able to discuss cables and cable tweaks without every other objectivist objectionist trying to save all those mid-guided folks from themselves and from the other cable "nuts"."
-Folks in the General Asylum just want to be able to discuss cable stooges without having delusionalists trying to save all these misguided folks from themselves and other general "nuts".
