Cable Snake Oil Antidote

People will generally... always buy from salesmen. They would not be there if they were not good at their job. That's the next part of the equation. Some people can be multifaceted and handle it all, but they are few and far between.

Geniuses like the guy at Audioquest are frequently not very good salesmen or may not wish to perform in that capacity. Audioquest must be doing something right as they are very very successful. Nothing succeeds like successs. My hat’s off to anyone who controls directionality for all of their cables as well as power cords. Bravo!

Don't we ALREADY have this thread within a few lines of this one?
I guess too much 'wire whine' is NEVER enough.
PLEASE feel free to continue...

Galen Gareis of Belden Cable is writing some articles for Copper, PS Audio's free online magazine. I'm finding them well worth the time it takes to read them.

The articles, from what I can tell, are nothing more than a Belden Cable marketing ploy. And PS Audio is part of the uh, ploy. From what I can tell just scanning one of the articles, it doesn’t address ANY of the really debatable cable issues. One can’t help wondering why the articles were written. I mean, except that they’re supposed to prop up the idea that since there are no technical advantages to expensive high end cables you’d be better off buying Belden Cables.
