You mis-quoted me, (why not cut and paste).
OBJECTIVE DIFFERENCES ARE OBVIOUS, and mostly irrelevant"


Not a misquote because they're not your words, they're mine. You wrote "Objectively, the differences in different cables are beyond obvious & are not worth discussing." What you quoted of me above is a misinterpretation on my part of your original statement...as in "quantum physics is beyond the comprehension of most laymen". The word "plainly" or similar might have been a better choice.

No, I'm not asserting Nordost Valhalla is the same as a River cable. I'm asking why they MUST be sonically different. Assuming the function of a cable is to get an electrical signal representing music from here to there with as little change as possible, good, well designed cables ought to sound the same even if they employ radically different designs. That you think I need to see a pic of them to understand the differences causes me to wonder if what you hear is influenced by what you see.

You wrote: """ignores the people with experience that arrive at the opposite concensus""

No, - it doesn't IGNORE, - it places them in the proper context, - as true, - as small minority. We can't ignore them, as like many people with "faith" they shout louder in their insecurity and lack of knowledge."


How do you arrive at the conclusion "they" are a small minority?
What makes you believe they're insecure and unknowledgeable? Neither of those statements ring true from my experience. Seems like your attempting to bolster your position by diminishing anything that doesn't support it.

You wrote: """Overall, pretty unconvincing.""

Only if you're completely outside reason, and foolish."


No, not at all. You've presented opinion as fact and little that really supports your position other than opinion. Your argument remains unconvincing and the arrogant , condescending tone of this statement doesn't help your case because there's a desperate quality about it.

Later!
