Mel,

It is not personal on my part.

His post DID relegate all the science about cable construction and materials and theory and the selection and prioritization of the many design compromises into "it's just copper, it's just insulation, it's just jacketing, etc.

Then the next content is that "it is overpriced and unjustifiable".

Then he suggests it would all be reasonably priced if they just copied someone else s product, in essence stealing that person's R&D efforts and perhaps even patented design.

I don't see how you can consider that to be reasonable or some thing that should be espoused about the entire cable industry.

Just because he does not single out a specific company or product, does not mean he is not disparaging the entire cable industry and the whole concept and reason for being of that industry. That certainly falls under dissing the spirit of this forum.

RE my link to the older post, indeed, I wished to point out that his complaining about the price of modern audio cables was just a red herring, which seems to be an attempt to cover up his disdain and disbelief about modern audio cables being worth any more than some very basic materials costs. In that older post, I show how even some very basic materials can cost way more that one might think, and that truly SOTA cables can and will cost more than a Chevy or a Ford of a cable.

These are the reasons I did not let his post pass uncommented, the next step down that road from him would be a violation of the rules, and he would then be subject to being banned, temporarily or otherwise.
