Interconnects and non-believers

For anyone who denies there are differences in cables, I have news for you.
There are vast differences.  I just switched interconnects between my CD transport (Cyrus) and DAC (Schiit Gumby), and the result was transformational.  Every possible parameter was improved: better definition, better soundstaging,  better bass, better depth etc.
I can’t understand how any audiophile with ears can deny the differences.  Is it delusion or dogma?

unreceivedogma,
" On another note, my friend also says the Shure V15 type III was maybe the best cartridge ever made" At least he used the word "maybe", but everything he says audio related after that IMHO is suspect at best. It does however explain why he didn't hear much difference (at least not enough to pay for it) with cables.

florida71,
Cable threads are kind of like patchouli, they stink after a while

Prof,
To answer your question, I personally like aalenik quote better. It was spot on. My point being, I don't go to the digital section of this forum to argue with them that analog is better.

Peace

"Guys, if you don’t hear a difference... just don’t spend your $$, and let everyone else make their own decisions. You don’t need to make your opinion into a crusade"

The above quote is solid advice

Elizabeth,
If you want to try some relatively inexpensive power cords that sound great, try the Oyaide Tunami from VH audio with Furutech F-11M ends. You can assemble these pretty cheap. I went from  the Pans to that & it was a nice upgrade.

kzh, Your degree is not a complete waste. You can probably make an ok living with it. In fact you may be able to afford a pair of silver wire interconnects to compare to copper ones, then come back here & let us know if you hear any difference. Or you can just tell us lowly non EE's how mistaken we are. 
elizibeth, As far as audio goes, human males mostly.

Audioholics, now that is funny. They make a difference. Not that I care, but IMO those that can't hear a difference have never tried.
