Interconnects and non-believers

For anyone who denies there are differences in cables, I have news for you.
There are vast differences.  I just switched interconnects between my CD transport (Cyrus) and DAC (Schiit Gumby), and the result was transformational.  Every possible parameter was improved: better definition, better soundstaging,  better bass, better depth etc.
I can’t understand how any audiophile with ears can deny the differences.  Is it delusion or dogma?

Above post by Elizabeth re: The Cable Company is inaccurate. They charge 5% of the list price of the product as a fee (plus UPS Ground shipping) to borrow cables which is non-refundable in cash but is applied as a credit against the purchase price of a product.

If you decide to actually buy a product, they honor the manufacturer’s return policy (for instance, SR’s 30 day refund policy).

Ah, yes, a way has to be found to balance out the costs.

unreceivedogma"don’t characterize me as something I am not in order to coddle your own insecurities. I am an agnostic.


You have charcaterized yourself and now reveal yourself to be wholly untruthful you are not an agnostic you stomped your feet and pounded your fist for scientifically valid evidence of differences between cables and when provided with an authoritative link that would also lead you to additional scientific, verifiable, repeatable data you wrote:

" it’s highly unlikely to move the needle. Imho these things don’t pass cost benefit analysis."

So you're mind is made up tight as a steel trap don't try and pretend you are what you obviously are not because to answer your question, yes I can read and so can everyone else here, my little friend.

This again?! I hate that my beloved hobby has been reduced to a pathetic red/blue argument. You love your expensive cables/lamp cord is all you need. Great. Now go listen to some music.
