audiophile folklore - cables and claims from manufacturers

@frank009 

So then, how do they know what their cables will sound like in your system.

They do not know.

Speaker manufacturers do not know how their speakers will sound in your room.

Pre-amp manufacturers do not know how their pre-amps will sound in your system.

Etc.

I am saying that professional environments whose employees and management earn their money through audio don’t burn in cables, and it’s true.

Please name two of those professional environments (company names), and how you have come to know those employees and management personnel.

Also, how do you know that they do not burn in their cables?

Please share with us which cables they are using, and how you know.

You are now going off on an unrelated tangent.

This post is about CABLES 

Not speakers, preamps, power, amps, integrated, amps, etc.

Cables - a simple device used to connect electronics together. Cables are not some new invention by NASA in the year 2026. 

Yet every year, some audiophiles "upgrade" their cables with hopes of improved sound quality. There’s nothing to improve, you simpletons.

Since you want to talk about audio electronics --- 

I have to tell you - The AUDIO ELECTRONICS are doing the heavy lifting.

For example, if you have a matching preamp and matching power amp from the same series, same manufacturer - were meant to be sold as a set, then you get system synergy.

If you buy some random preamp and try to run it with that power amp, then the sound will change, but may not be ideal.

Volume match precisely as well. And play the same music.

Don't do the above, then you can't make a real-world comparison with any accuracy.

I have 60 dollar aliexpress nordost that sounds great. Nordost got these from Asia for 30 bucks a pop and set the price tag at 14k for you great patriots. 

I think you’re just being sarcastic (maybe?) because those brand name interconnects are honored with the stamp of "audiophile-approved" made in USA, whatever.

I care about the bill of materials and/or if the manufacturer produced a reliable, good quality product that I can depend upon. Who cares where they’re made.

Well think about it logically. If they sold let’s say 4k interconnects total so far, after 1 year, its in their best interests as a high volume retailer to NOT provide garbage products to customers.

Economies of scale. Take a basics economics class.

They want repeat customers, and thrive off of them. It’s common sense.

I have bought a few things from aliexpress and never had a problem. Some were even delivered to one of my homes before the amazon parcels, which were expected to arrive earlier.

If you think the Chinese can’t produce quality products, then I’m sorry but you are a racist and a bigot. 

I've been to China a few times and was astonished as just how advanced they are.

Please quote what you assert is me going off on an unrelated tangent.

Cables - a simple device used to connect electronics together.

Simple is subjective.  The cables on the space shuttle are not simple.  The cables in stealth bombers are not simple.  The cables in the James Webb Space Telescope are not simple.

Have you sliced open a Shunyata Research Omega-X cable?  Tell us how it is constructed.  Tell us about the materials that are used in its construction.

Yet every year, some audiophiles "upgrade" their cables with hopes of improved sound quality. There’s nothing to improve, you simpletons.

Nothing to improve, evidences that you have never heard a revealing stereo with quality cables.

Your reply was full of weaving, dodging, and dancing.  You replied.  But a reply is not the same as an answer.  You answered none of my questions.  Here s a reminder, and another opportunity for you to "answer":

I am saying that professional environments whose employees and management earn their money through audio don’t burn in cables, and it’s true.

Please name two of those professional environments (company names), and how you have come to know those employees and management personnel.

Also, how do you know that they do not burn in their cables?

Please share with us which cables they are using, and how you know.

-- And --

And even worse, some use cables as TONE controls! This is where audiophoolery becomes a religion. Audio dealers promote it, because it impacts their bottom line! 

Audio dealers promote the above?

Please name two dealers.

If you refuse to answer, then it mans that your assertions were fabrications.  You wrote BS and tried to pass it off as factual.  So name the parties that you claim are doing the above quotes from you.  You wrote it.  You own it.  You can run from it.  But you can't escape from it.
