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?

wetfeet48: just polish the end connectors occasionally with some Copperbrite and you'll be good to go! No need to worry neurotically about wire!

The old AQ Truth are great cables, in truth. I wish they still made them. If I recall correctly even back then AQ controlled them for directionality. I had copper and silver versions of AQ Truth. Other than keeping connections nice and bright the AQ Truth should be good to go. Electrons don’t seem to get tired. There is no Geritol for electrons even if they did.

Wetfeet48.
I had a pair of AQ GR8 speaker cables for years. Only sold them when I moved up to some Nordost cables.
Very good cables from my memory.
Never seen or heard of them from anybody else until now...lol.

Seems like this discussion has taken better turn (from 'cable wars').  Did I do that?  If so, I'm proud.

PROF, GEOFF & ELIZABETH, thank you for your good posts.

PROF - I was kidding.  I know you're not angry.  In fact, you seem quite sensible... even though we disagree on some things.  And btw, I think Elizabeth was referring to others, not you or Geoff.  For example, TEO made a good point, but in a rather insulting manner.  But you know who then real trolls (Clearthink?) and snark-monsters (unreceivedogma?) are.

I agree that skepticism is healthy... IF it is healthy skepticism, and not just ignorant nay-saying.  As J. Gordon Holt said, "If you haven't heard it, you have no opinion."  I also believe that you should always trust your ears, but never expect anyone else to trust YOUR ears.  Each to their own!
