Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio


The post linked below should be a mandatory reading for all those audiophiles who spend obscene amounts of money on wires. Can such audiophiles handle the truth?

Years ago, I went from generic 12 gauge speaker cable, to used Cardas Quadlink 5C, ( mostly bought on Audiogon), and was suprised that despite my preconceptions, cables do make a difference in sound. I have never desired to move up to more expensive cables. I am sure much more expensive cables would sound even better, but am satisfied ,and enjoying what I am hearing. I have changed speakers, amps, turntables, preamps , over the years. The Quadlinks have always stayed.

Oh dear.

If you feel it; it's real!  Yep, in this hobby, lets just pretend science never happened, it's methods and results don't apply in the magic world of the audiophile.

And we wonder why our hobby is ridiculed.
+1 Fortunately it is an innocuous hobby. Let's rejoice that as yet these quacks are not in charge of medical testing, even if the same arguments can increasingly be heard in that arena too.
