Amir of ASR admitted 1 cable sounded better than the other. NOT CLICKBAIT

The best sound investment is in your room acoustics and making your room audio-only with a proper speaker setup. 

Truth^^^   It’s hard to take any cable argument seriously (or DAC, amp, etc) if this is attended to.  

The key question is: Do my room’s issues make it impossible to hear cable differences?

If your room isn’t really dialed in, then the answer is probably "yes."

But there’s no law against enjoyment from placebos, of course -- or spending money on placebos, or recommending placebos as if they were real...oh wait. That would border on deception.

 Burn the witch, burn the witch!!!

You can get a Chevy Vega to go 60 mph and you can get a Porsche to go 60 mph. Doesn’t mean the Vega’s the same quality as the Porsche. 

Not sure why anyone, other than ASR groupies, care what Amir thinks.  He is not an audiophile.  He simply tests the electronics performance and then conjectures about what should sound better.  Being an audiophile is about listening to your components and configurations.  I am an an electrical engineer.  We develope some of the finest and most sophisticated electronics in the world.  By specs it should sound amazing,   I must say, when it blows up, it sound pretty darn good:-)

Exactly. This hobby is first, foremost and always about enjoyment of music. There's zero joy in ASR and the bitter cranks that infest that site. While they wallow in statistics, we're loving art.
