Alright....

I have had email conversations with engineers from Texas Instruments (DAC engineer), Toshiba (Toslink interface designer) and Bryston (amp designer).

There are also a host of other audio engineers, like John Dunlavy and Bob Pease to name two of the more popular, whose names come up here once and awhile and are promptly discredited because of their opinions on exotic cables. So if you took out any engineers who design exotic cables, I believe there would still only be a very small percentage that would advise anyone to spend hundreds on fancy cabling.

I'm not particularly interested in those who design military radar.

Perhaps you feel this way because you have confirmation bias. That is a tendency to dismiss evidence contrary to your beliefs and seek out and prop up affirmations.

And BTW, does this mean you would not believe somebody like Jon Risch if he gave you his opinion about radar performance?

You are almost saying that some audio engineers have a special knowledge that regular (e.g. a radar) engineers do not possess. And not only do they not possess this special knowledge, they can't comprehend it when explained.

You're taking a small portion of audio engineers who tell you things you like to hear, and putting them on a pedastal. Sad, really. After awhile, they start talking down to people.
