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?

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!
mbishop63: "" One thing I’ve found about interconnect cables is you have to be patient through the "break in period" ""
And then there are cable that suck.. period. I bought a cable that was really no good for what it was intended for. The dealers says let it break in. a month and I finally just said enough is enough! and returned it. the pressure to ’go along’ with break in was high. (this was the cable location I finally went and bought a $3200 IC for. and got something worth the money that sounded good)
So sometimes you know it is crap. Oddly other cables the first time I heard it I was 'this is garbage, I am going to return it!." but in a few days to came around. Never know.
Bleeds, nice try, but you and so many cable cultists and marketers here conflate my point. I am not saying that there is no difference, I am saying that the differences, small as they are, do not justify the exhorbitant prices asked for from audio enthusiasts, gullible and vulnerable as they are to grandiose claims due to their enthusiasm.
Ok, accepting for the moment that the cable cultists are correct, then they rightly should pursue the logic of their argument to its penultimate end:

the ultimate end, of course, would be to build your own private power station, preferably in your back yard to minimize the risk of unwanted radiation entering transition lines.
