Interconnects and non-believers

Buy active speakers and feed them from a preamp/dac with XLR output.

Prof, the problem with this thread is imbedded in the title: “interconnects and non-believers”:

Jesus and non believers
Buddha and non believers 
Muhammad and non believers 
the devil and non believers 
Freud and non believers 
Marx and non believers 
capitalism and non believers 
vegan and non believers 
astrology and non believers 

some of these require a faith based approach. To some of these, a faith based approach is often applied. So too with COC (the Cult of Cables). 

One thing I've found about interconnect cables is you have to be patient through the "break in period". The improvement in sound quality won't be instantaneous but rather a gradual change. Maybe cable manufacturers could find a way to precondition their products before shipping.

Actually, you have this backwards. There's quite a bit of evidence that shows there can be audible differences between cables, some of which I think has been provided to you. So to the extent there's a "cult," it comprises the tiny, noisy minority in denial of the facts, and that seeks to argue its position with a seemingly endless prattle of ill-logic and, often, personal attacks.

Perhaps, it would be of help to actually understand, what’s wrong with the typical nay-sayer’s, "thinking"(loosely speaking)? https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xLm9mgJRPvmPGpo7Q/the-cognitive-science-of-rationality  Then again, probably not!
