Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck

Ladies and Gentlemen,
1) First thing first, I like to take this opportunity to apologize to Mark (Asa) and the rest of you if I offended you, intensional or un-intensional(?). Especially Asa, Detlof, Unsound, Nrchy, Sean (yes, you too), Sugarbrie, Z man, Twl and Clueless(?)(man, I am starting to sound like you). I think my 3 cents (collect from everyone that read my posts) really belong to Asa for he swallow my remarks. And believe me, it is not easy! I've used to be in his shoes, except it's my choice. Asa, don't spare me when you use that bamboo stick.
2) Gregm, you beat me to it. Your post is really beautiful, Sir.
3) Asa, regarding your e-mail. Thank you, I really proud of you. I have been waiting...You really earn my respect as a gentleman. Anyway, I speak for myself if you know what I mean ;-). The other thing is just probing. ;-). Asa, I was thinking of calling you, last night but my cheap side kick in for it is a long distance call. But I am opened for communication...by e-mail, please. I need time to swallow your English! Anyway Asa, I don't think you will get much from me, as I've said in the beginning, I really have nothing to say. I might bug you more than you think I would. My friend you are stuck with me. LOL
4) Audiogon, please let this one goes, through.
5) I have not think about it, yet....LOL
6) Ten Bulls anyone? NO? :-)
7) Now, I really, really, really quit this thread. OK?, please don't call me. Hahaha...

Thank you, 6ch. Courage.

I do not mind being reminded. You may keep doing that. People telling me I'm a windbag is not a bad thing to hear now and then, especially because its true (I am working on it...). Actually, I have enjoyed your non-dual "pointing" in the past. Just thought this went a little over the line. Like I said to you, though, I have gone off myself sometimes, so it happens.

Its forgotten as far as I'm concerned.

To audiogon: people make mistakes, all of us. It takes courage to say sorry. 6ch said that he may not be posting anymore. That was not my intent, and although I realize that this is your decision, as the one who cited it, I don't think it rises to a level where 6ch should be barred. I never felt that strongly, just wanted to hold up a mirror. Again, it takes courage to look into that mirror. That should mean something.

6ch, say somthing, not say something, people learn and grow from both. And, I don't mind being stuck with you, really.

Be well.

In french this is, "mon semblable, mon frere"

Does this mean we're done with these deeply profound discussions of the relative value of cable? Am I on the right thread?

Nrchy, I think the more refined and complex a system gets, every single part of it plays an important role and in the end the whole is certainly more than all its parts. In a system tweaked to the utmost, every little change matters and can be heard and therefore, yes, in my opinion, everything is a component, in its old Latin sense of the word. And in this complex interrelationship of electronics, plugs, wires and transducers, to me, wires have become as important as any other component and this goes down to any part of which I have learnt, that it can make a difference to the sound as I percieve it. Cheers,
