Discussing cables - could this energy be better spent?

216.175.99.121

I see countless threads discussing cables. Can these man hours and human energy be better spent on other areas of audio which have much greater influence on sound quality? For example:

1. Petition the record companies in a concerted effort to end the loudness war and release albums with more dynamic range? Compression sucks.

2. For those like myself who buy new vinyl releases, petition the record labels and pressing companies to improve the quality of their albums. I've purchased some in recent years where the right channel on the first 2 tracks on a side are noisy due to poor flow of the plastic in the forming/stamping process. Where is the quality control and inspection?

Feel free to add to this list and let's make a plan.

You're probably right, in the sense that "petitioning" (normally pretty ineffective)... - carcass93 08:29:57 10/01/09 (0)
