Point taken, in a way everything has an effect then. We're moving into the realm of what wood do I use to suspend my speaker cables? Do the 2" or 3" sound better? Should I use 2 or 3 per foot? If you are going down that road you will never be happy.

Please do not include me in the we're part of your statement about moving into the realm of what wood and how many to use to lift speaker wires. I'm likely going to decide on one of two versions of a plug and IEC combination to very likely improve upon what I have at the present time. Nothing obsessive about it. I lift my cables off the floor with wood doweling from Home Depot. Done it for years. Tried 3 or 4 different kinds of wood for under my equipment and settled on one for quite some time now. Who are you to tell me when I'll be happy or when to stop. I'm here to improve my system, share and gather information for that end. What are you here for? How does your statement help anyone? Tweaker
To each his own. BTW what diameter dowels do you use?
Another useless comment from cabelok that likely has nothing whatsoever to do with advancing the hobby, nothing to do with improving any ones sound system. But on the other hand, since I believe that paying attention to details is a or the way to improving sound systems maybe I will get to trying differ diameter doweling on my speaker cable lifters at some point. It's way down on my list though. Since difference in the quality of AC connectors is such a waste of time according to cabelok I guess resistors, capacitors, vibration damping, contact enhancement, cd tweaks and modifications, wire type and quality, rca connectors... are all also a waste of time. Maybe we should just close down this whole forum. Clearly trying to improve ones stereo is a waste of time and effort. Doomed to result in unhappiness.
Progress and improving... have fun.
Tweaker, I think you are over reacting a bit here. I think Cabelok was merely commenting on how far down a rabbit hole we ALL can go. While we are often locked in to a particular set of room dimensions for instance, we focus on the material that makes up an IEC connector. I'm NOT saying you are wrong or that Cableok is right here, just that it is so easy to focus on the tiniest details while the big picture floats by unnoticed.
IMO ignoring details or what you might consider the tiniest details is a yuuuuuug mistake. In my view much of this hobby, the goal being good and getting better sound , not putting ugly photos up and being critical of people for paying attention to detail, is about details. One detail after one detail after another. One capacitor in the PS or a excellent resistor in the signal path can and or will drastically change the sound in profound ways to improve the listening experience. Not only do I not think I'm over reacting but I'm glad to use this post to hammer the point once again. Detail after detail after detail after detail. They all add up to the big picture. Someone once analogized a high end stereo to a race car. If one thing is wrong you won't have a winning car. I once put a fuse in an amp and it ruined the sound to the point I didn't want to listen to it. Did I mention how important details are? Tweaker
Might have had more impact if you spelled huge with an "e". That said, whatever you find important to fret over, more power to you.
Its not a race. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
