The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable

Not one company has published results concluding that their cables sound better than a competitor's product. Wonder why this is??

Same reason no speaker, amplifier, DAC manufacturer ever has.

Exactly ! 

I mean, my lunch made my day brighter, but your posts are doing the same thing! 

Thanks

@devinplombier --I should reword. Not one company has published results concluding that their cables sound Different than a competing product.

I know you're not exactly talking to me - but I'll chime in.

Again, I'm so glad to hear realizations like this.

I've had audiophile friends in real life lose their life savings on cables alone. Wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same thing. Not even an enemy.

Cable manufacturers bloviate at length about subjective parameters because that’s what audiophiles understand (faster bass, deeper soundstage, inky black noise floor, etc), whereas objective parameters like LCR go way over most folks’ heads, and that would not make effective marketing.

Also... no one really cares. Folks are prompted to buy expensive cables by dog whistles only they can hear, then they reverse-justify their actions using tall tales of magical sonic improvements.

At the end of the day, a cable manufacturer has little incentive to show that their cables are different because that’s not what sells them.
