@devinplombier thank you for the kind words… Pale emperor I agree is the best thing he’s ever done… But then again I like music with Groove and space :)
I don’t prefer the Shunyata stuff because of the videos or because of his PhD or his past experience as a military scientist… I simply have better ears than others do, and better monitoring than others do, and it’s 100% obvious that all of their AC cables have a unique quality to them, which may or may not be beneficial per cable, but all of them are better than a Chinese cord…
And frankly, every Chinese cord has its own subtle flavor, even though they are incredibly similar
mean if we don’t hear these things, it doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with us. It just means that the resolution of our system isn’t there, or it means that the differences don’t affect us personally and that’s great, save your money, enjoy your music…
But every single thing has a sound, all cables and capacitors have a sound, every single thing in a chain
when we have spent every day for 30 years, criticizing out own chain, and comparing things in a treated environment, it is definitely possible to get to the bottom of the rabbit hole :)
