You can say "Zip cord sounds just as good as Nordost" at Cable Asylum all you want - nobody will delete your posts and send them to Siberia.
It's only when you (I don't mean personally) start screaming something to the extent "Give me proof that Nordost sounds better than zip cord" or "You can't hear differences between Nordost and zip cord, because you didn't provide evidence of that", that your posts get deleted. And rightfully so - how many places to set up traveling circus' tent do we need here, besides Prop Head?
"(if you say) that all one needs is zip cord and/or dimestore coax, may be deleted, re-directed or other actions taken at the sole discretion of the moderators or the Bored. If you post more than one such post, you may be banned from the Cable Asylum.
Just how does the stated dogma above from their 'mission statement' support your contention that...
"You can say "Zip cord sounds just as good as Nordost" at Cable Asylum all you want - nobody will delete your posts and send them to Siberia."
My take on it is that the cable asylum is only for endlessly discussing empirical implementations, preferably ones anointed by the head shaman. Anyone that might bother their pretty little heads wondering WHY they make a difference, how to know what's optimum or, god forbid, applies engineering and scientific practices will be banned (shunned) and exiled to PropHeads where such heretical behavior is theoretically tolerated.
Tolerated perhaps, but seldom practiced.

That's exactly why I first came to PropHead - for answers as to why cables sounded different. The problem is that too many people are stuck on IF, and it's hard to progress to WHY. If some of these so-called "scientists" could posit something reasonable and rational (and scientific) as to why, I'd be all ears. But the "it all sounds the same" and "it's all in your imagination" is old and boring. But it is why rational audio enthusiasts rattle their cages from time to time, which is admittedly somewhat enjoyable. :)
Agreed. They have Hydrogen Audio for the "Audio Regressionists" that proclaim everything sounds the same. It works for them just as Cable Asylum works for more rational audio enthusiasts... because any disagreements are not of the fundamental variety.
