Thanks for those that agree.

To thank folks who agree with you in this particular matter is meaningless. It does not make what seems to be a lack of perception any more valid. Perhaps it's simply a wish to skirt the Cable Asylum Mission Statement (see link below). It's far more silly to admit a lack of perception than the audible findings of those who share observations with other audiophiles who may actually identify the exact same sonic signatures and artifacts of particular make/model cables. Furthermore, evaluating sonic differences between various audio devices including cables is not mass hysteria nor magic thinking, it's an essential nature of this audiophile hobby. my 2 pennies
Hmmm, thread relegated to the desert just as I was typing a response to you. Bummer!
I found your post curiously unresponsive to that of the OP. Far as I can tell he's innocent of all of your accusations and was just sharing his experiences...
Anyhow the comment I was trying to make is that I think the disconnect is semantically driven because my experiences more or less match both yours and those of the OP. I would say that most of the time cables have a fairly subtle effect upon the sound, but none-the-less that effect may make a profound difference in my enjoyment. That's simply one of the things that makes home audio so interesting to me.
I find interconnects to need the most TLC but it probably depends a lot on how the gear is implemented and the environment that it's in. And perhaps the sensitivities of the listener to particular artifacts...

For us middling spenders.. Spending a lot on a cable means NOT spending it on the primary equipment. Which I (FWIW) just always spend it on the primary equipment.
Adding thousands to the cables is not as advancing (for sound) as buying better equipment.
I have nothing against quaality cables.. Just the cost performance vs spending it on primary equipment. (though I have found great conditioning actually makes up for some equipment upgrading.. think power supply in electronics vs external...)
If I were a multi-millionaire.. I'd be in the mega $$$ cable camp too.
The OP posted the message on General AA and the moderator moved it here.

If that's what you want to believe, go for it. Your happiness is what matters, right? And ignorance is indeed bliss.
the better your system, the more difference the wires make. with constellation electronics, i wouldn't be looking at blue jeans cable.
