| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable @willemj - with an attitude like that you will never advance in this hobby. Remember the Little Engine that Could? I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! 🚂 Toot, toot! | |
| Cable Snake Oil Antidote The breeze feels good! When you swing for the bleachers the first thing you have to do is connect with the ball. Somebody hasn’t been paying very good attention. God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. | |

| Cable Snake Oil Antidote Whoa! What?! Hey, you call that a debate? Break me a give! Don’t you have an actual, you know, argument? This is your chance to show how smart you are, not how snarky and repetitive you are. Nothin’ new in there? Oh, well.... | |

| Cable Snake Oil Antidote I wasn’t suggesting Mr. McGowan was pushing Belden Cables. I was suggesting that it was published on PS Audio because it supposedly makes everybody look smart, including Paul McGowan. As I said, anyone could have cut and pasted the articles from W... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable We often see this sort of thing, you know, people who are over educated in certain areas but who can’t see the forest for the trees.
