The Science of Cables

It is simply hard to believe, unless you are a priori firm believer, that changes in anything which is already on a fairly decent level can be so impressive. Noticeable maybe, but Earth-shattering (or whatever other description gets mentioned) just does not seem believable.

You are free to believe as you wish, of course. But once a difference is established, whether it is an "impressive" difference or not is purely subjective. After all, many people consider the whole HEA pursuit unworthy because for them, the result isn't worth the cost.

Not much of a stretch to say that functionally the cable haters/deniers club are saying much the same thing...

"After all many people consider the whole cable pursuit unworthy because for them, the result isn't worth the cost"

....or maybe the idea that this audio thing was the result of moving the audio pile forward, common sense be damned, is now just a crazy idea that is becoming "a former member of the species" in this hobby...and this hobby is destined to be a calmed ship going nowhere...yet off in the distance is the call of the Schroeder Method yet that is being ignored or maligned or dismissed and in most of those cases quite smugly....

 After all, many people consider the whole HEA pursuit unworthy because for them, the result isn't worth the cost.

It a hobby... First off no one actually cares what anybody else thinks. They may lip service the ideas, but in the end, everybody does whatever they please.
If ten thousand audiophiles said you MUST do xxx. Well? am I gonna do XXX? depends on am I willing to be bothered? and how much does it cost? Do I actually believe the hype? For example the $599 sheet of Magic Paper.. Marvelous! Fantastic! some folks own a dozen!! That is over seven grand for what? Sorry, When the price is $5.99 maybe.. MAYBE. Same thing for cables. who cares is anyone else wants/does not want them?? Must be folks just need something to argue about. Reminds me of the Renaissance question tormenting endless scholars of "How many Angels can dance on a pin" (BTW the answer is none. they are forbidden to dance on pins anymore. Devils however just love to dance on pins.. out of spite.) All you Devils posting here. STOP!! Where is a good exorcist when you need one? Also. anyone had an exorcism done on the stereo? Cure those gremlins??

You go, girl! 💃

Well I guess someone has to say something about an earlier post and request by douglas. First let me say that I sympathize with the families of any victim of violence but I cant understand why anyone would ask that certain words and speech not be used in their presence because it "offends". Worse yet to apologize and add credence to such a request.

May I remind you that you words must be taken in context and intent is critical. I am ashamed of these recent developments in our society which have lead to: safe rooms, time outs, optional school attendance due to some perceived trauma, discouragement of healthy political and social discourse and challenge referred to as hate speech to name just a few.

My day is not complete without several offenses, challenges and some spirited discourse. Just think about how ridiculous most of this has become.
