I still see nothing outright hostile here. It's not exactly complementary of audiophiles but it's not personally directed at anyone either.

The OP was concerned about the wire he used. I am citing examples of why it's not an issue. Others are free to post why they think it is.

Also are my statements untrue? Can you show me accredited papers proving the effects of audiophile wire? Accredited btw, means IEEE or similar body. Not "The Absolute Sound" or "Sterophile". And sure there are probably a few audiophile centric manufactures that use boutique because their customer base demands it. Roger Russell uses Cardas wire so he can sell his speakers. That doesn't mean he believes in it. He doesn't - read his site. But I have yet to see it inside pro gear. Rupert Neve was referenced in a post above as one of the audio engineering legends. I agree he is. What did he use in his large mixing consoles for audio wire? Computer ribbon cable! And he did use the colored striped wire too. None of this "black wire sounds bad" stuff.

The electronics industry as a large group does not buy into this stuff. Only these isolated boutique manufactures. Why is that? If this wire in question can do all the great things it claims for a lowly audio signal, imagine what it can do for high speed data transmission. Why is nobody in the commercial arena taking advantage off that?
