Most Important, Unloved Cable...
My audioholic buddies tell me the $400+ per 5th Pappy is really good. I doubt I'll know this for myself. 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
TEO - That was some great info on the mind, intelligence and hearing relationships. I have a more technical question for which you may have some insight. I have been thinking about why vinyl and some Ethernet cables can have relatively lousy stats...

Mark: I think that would be fine. Have you tried Old Scout, an Ambler?

Geoffkait and Dynaquest14, thank you for you supportive insight. I have been very fortunate to work with some very knowledgeable and open minded audiophiles that have very impressive backgrounds in electronics. And we have tried so many things ove...

Just to have something to argue about, I find every component, every tube, every solder joint, every resistor, every capacitor and very piece of wire requires a break-end period. And hopefully, it sounds better afterwards, but this is not always t... 
what speakers to buy
Find a non-working pair of Sound Lab U-2's, send then out for repair at the company (Utah) and you will have deal in sound and price point. Not easy to find, but worthwhile.

Right. T Ramey just wants to throw in the Supra 8, But I do agree that is a "post" evaluation listening. I would like to have a 5 meter Audioquest Vodka to try as I believe this cable is a good representation of the quality of better cables.  But ...

Well t_ramey, why don't you send one out to me. As far as I know, we are comparing the Blue Jeans 6A to my home terminated Western Electric 6A, which I like slightly better, even if it did cost me 10X+. Jinjuku thinks all similar capacity cables s...

It is all good, my setup is simple. I'm sending my cable to Blue Jeans to make sure it meets the 6A standard. Not sure if 15 seconds is long enough to figure much out, so perhaps we can do some full tracks too. You want to know the cables are equa...
