Cables more hype than value?

@Jmcgrogan2, this was new for me. If you were not allowed to have your own oppinion. And they really believe that cables do not matter. They do not want to talk about it. How stuppid you can be? I Always say; more than 90% of everything in sound and vision is not that special. But......I Always want to Judge first before I know how good or bad it is. And wenn I do not know it, I say: I can not say anything about it. How simple things can be....

@Bo1972, there are many out there who believe in listening with their eyes. They let specifications tell them what they can and cannot hear. Go figure. "

I don't get those people either. They claim to be objective yet everything they do is subjective. They advocate the use of science to evaluate audio equipment, but they do it from such a biased and emotional standpoint the science becomes a joke. Only the tests that yield results to support the objective claims are used, while others are labeled no valid. What I find is the most amazing thing in all of this, is the amount of time they dedicate in trying to talk other people into believing they have some type of psychological issue if you disagree with them. You would think its their lifes work.

@ Zd542, There you go again, you got a laugh out of me!, I agree with you!, the context you have gets me to laughing!, Keep comeing with it!,, cheers!

Purity of the cable, 24 awg and very low capacitance is what it's all about. It's nothing more than a signal cable. Now if you need eye candy there are vendors everywhere sell that to ya and all kinds of snake oil available too.

The people of AVS are F.......insane. Wenn you do not let other people give ther own opinion. You never can and will be subjective. I never met such blind people in my life before in this business. Let them be happy with there simple sets and screens with budget cables. I guess they like to limited themselves. Who am I to Judge!!!

"Now if you need eye candy there are vendors everywhere sell that to ya and all kinds of snake oil available too."

I think I found the problem. We are talking about audio cables here. You need to listen to them, not watch them. Try that and you'll get much better results.

Also, what's snake oil?
