Steve, if all that matters is the #'s then you shouldn't even have to audition equipment. Just get the white papers, read, and buy. Pretty easy that way. Some of us more egotistical morons prefer to actualy LISTEN to the equipment we buy. I will gladly stay in that camp thanks....
By the way Steve, this really is the last post on this one. It's getting way too long. Maybe you can find someone else to debate for a while. Thanks.
No_money, you're missing the point. The important thing is not "don't listen," but "know how to listen." Understand what makes a difference in sound and what doesn't. Make direct listening comparisons, preferably properly set-up double-blind or AB-X. Understand that a listening test is not a test of your hearing, but of the sound of the equipment. Therefore, "finding" differences that don't exist is no more valid than ignoring differences that do. Understand the principals of psychoacoustics so you can better know your own conscious or subconscious listening biases and how to minimize them. The more you understand about the workings of audio, the easier it will be to make your system sound better by investing in what works and avoiding pouring money into what doesn't.
Steve:

Cables are not AC. A Cable is a medium which allows the transport of both AC and DC. Since you are so "picky" you should be more precise in your statements.
I see you have found an audio "soul mate" in 70242.241.
I suppose it takes someone who is resistant to actually listening to identify themselve as a number.
Whatever that means, Gmorris. Whatever.

You're right that cable is a medium, but it's for transporting AC AND/OR DC. Not necessarily both. In fact, rarely both, unless it's a phantom powering arrangement.
So nice to have your brilliants back 70240.241. I thought you and Steve had told us you were leaving because we're all to dumb for your great minds. And to think I trusted you two, Chah!
Oh yea, Why would my comment to Gmorris about cable justify negative votes? It was not directed at either of you guys and was carried over from a related thread. I am surprised at some folks being able to make the kind of money to purchase these items,(but then again,the only thing I know you have puchased is zip cord) but still lacking social skills required to accept others opinions without feeling they are being attacked. Just blanketing my posts on this thread regardless of content just proves what kind of person you are. Is there not another topic you guys would like to contribute to? Is your system only made of cable laying on the ground? Even the cheap stuff sounds a lot better when it is hooked up to something. Hey, I think I figured this one out. I will have to AGREE with you STEVE, ALL CABLES when laying on the ground, not hooked up to anything sound the same.
