Look, those of us who do believe cables make a difference will never be converted by unsolicited interjections and snarky comments. You have a polar opposite approach to audio and we don’t agree with your views.
By the same token, the cable believers will never be able to convince the objectivist/ASR crowd with our subjective comments. If a cable believer jumped in an objectivist conversation and started with the snarky comments that would also be wrong.
But here is the thing.. personally speaking, I don’t care to change your views, and you shouldn’t care about changing my views. We are talking about audio cables, not world peace. I can spend my money as I like.
I think the subjectivist/objectivist audio debates are a total waste of time. Who cares if you believe differently about this audio hobby?
In general terms, I agree with the sentiment you expressed in your post, and I think most folks here do as well.
Few people in this day and age really believe that cables cannot have any effect on a system’s sound quality, and those who do would do well to reconsider the facts.
However, this is not a discussion of cables in general. This is a thread that was started specifically to promote two far-out-of-the-cable-mainstream products: QSA Landeri’s Discovery power cord and power strips.
But like others, I agree that, no matter how preposterous the prompt, one should be able to make their point without resorting to questionable tactics such as personal insults, ad hominem attacks, or lobbying behind the scenes to have posts you simply don’t agree with deleted.
There are a couple of elephants in this room that that are worth addressing, imo.
