"How could anyone argue that the WORLD'S BEST CABLES aren't the best?"
I own a few XLR interconnects, and they're fine considering the price and very well made. Quite impressive at the price, but I have three other cables that outperform them, all using cold or sonic welding, and a fourth set(AST Silver balanced from Athens, Greece) on the way. Possibly a fifth cable I'm hoping from WBC, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FS91TW8Z?ref=emc_s_m_5_i_atc is a better cable, plus just today they came out with a brand new product, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H11GPLQW?ref=emc_s_m_5_i_atc&th=1 I just saw. These two cables are five and seven times the price of their other offerings, using better cable and much better assembly techniques, and use soldering in, I think, a nitrogen-rich environment, whatever that means. Like pulling teeth to get any real info out of WBC.
