Please ... are you really trying to tell me that nobody in this "hobby" has their perception influenced by the price that they pay for or the appearance of the hardware that they purchase? They may not be considered audiophiles by your definition but they are human and it's not concious or intentional. Where this topic is concerned, you obviously believe that flat out objectivity easily and always trumps the complex human psyche. You are above and beyond that, of course ...
Yes, that is exactly what I was asking. I think everyone got that point. I never hid it. You are offended by it. Oh well, so sorry. That said, you dont know me. You assume I am a naysayer in hiding. Wrong. I am on a budget and my cable experiences are limited because of that budget. Regardless, I hear the differences and I use the cables that I sonically prefer in comparing to others I have tried over the years. Again, within my own budget. I do think its chasing subtlety for the most part. Especially with power cables. Regardless, I am far from the cable naysayer that you wish to believe that I am.
That said, you can keep your "audiophile" label. I learned to stop chasing that label years ago. I simply love music, period. I have no wish to become part of a "fraternity" teaming with intolerance, judgement, elitism and disdain. You display most of those characteristics very well.

To make any assumption that anything is black or white is not hypothetical it's silly. I believe most of us would like the best sounding for the least spent. However, there are likely a number of folks who buy with their wallet. That's consistent with all levels of disposable income and consumerism. The easy way out is why stereo mags exist. Don't make me listen, I'm too busy, just tell me what to buy. To infer that a number of us are too stupid to realize value is insulting as are many of your responsive posts earlier.
"Apparently, people now believe that mental telepathy is the foundation of communication and magic is the source of daily events. Consequently, we no longer have to participate in our own lives."
Sorry for my hardcore defense mode -- a knee jerk, attack dog mentality can be too easy to fall back into within this (controversial) forum. Mea culpa.
Cheers, Duster
