I get the engineering rationale, assuming we can measure for everything. However, I’m reasonably confident that the technology to measure everything has yet to be invented. In the meantime I use my ears. If a new cable or component, regardless of cost makes an improvement in my ability to listen for enjoyment I’m good with without knowing on the molecular level why that is.

This is a truly sharp-witted and rational realization. At one point, I was fighting fire with fire. Now, I am fighting fire with water. To destabilize and eventually put out the flames of ignorance and sheer disrespect. Others may disagree with my beliefs about all things audio, and they are welcome to. However, I am not going to try and convince the naysayers that I'm right and they're wrong. As a matter of fact, we are always learning more in this hobby. It makes sense to stay curious and help each other out, rather than get in to pointless conflicts. I'm always glad when you post because you make sense and have a grounded way of responding to others. All the best. |
If I were you, I would take it easy with the profanity and taking things too personally. That is uncalled for on an adult-only forum. We are not high school students, so please act your age. To answer your question, I have not heard this specific ethernet cable. However, I have experience with CCIE level knowledge regarding computer networking, since my son is a network engineer. To me, it seems a bit irrational that you are challenging the beliefs of someone whose job it was to maintain quality control and manufacturing standards over numerous sites around the world, among many other roles that were extremely challenging such that those before me were getting fired; while I marched on and eventually retired at will when I wanted to. You are welcome to pick up a computer networking textbook (Cisco is my favorite and probably the best) and read about the OSI model, TCP/IP, and ask an AI agent such as ChatGPT specific questions about the cable making a difference in your audio system. As I had already stated previously, The master clock (crystal oscillator that controls timing) is already doing the heavy lifting for incoming signals. Audio equipment is not adverse to ethernet, and hence the engineers who designed the audio components you are using must have built them competently and professionally. The solution would be to find a double-shielded ethernet cable of considerable build quality and compare it directly with the ethernet cable from this company. Level match and write down your impressions on a notepad. Separate pages, different days. Let’s see what the results are. I am not one for brand loyalty or clinging to a certain product line unless the results are consistent and repeatable. If that cannot be proven, there is no basis for claims that such a product is superior for an intended purpose. Peace. |
@frank009 and if I were you, I would stop pretending that you’re some sort of authority when you stated that you haven’t done any listening… Everything you said after that is irrelevant including projections about brand loyalty, who’s talking about loyalty? No one. and who’s defensive? I would say you are. you seem extremely defensive and loyal to your established ways of thinking… The definition of a closed mind and a very loud and long-winded mouth
finally on profanity… Scientific studies show, and you can look this up, that people who swear are much more trustworthy… So I return to my previous comment, STFU if you haven’t listened, because all you have is theory, and this is not a discussion form for theories in the same way, we don't discuss music theory, because music theory has nothing to do with what makes good music |
With all due respect.
Frequent swearing does not make someone more trustworthy, and may sometimes indicate worse, not better self-control. I know not a single person in real life who believes this falsehood as you do. It is the most irrational thing I’ve anyone say in at least the past 5 years! You said "STFU" and it goes to show a lack of self control on your part, as an adult. "Much more trustworthy" That’s nonsense. Some of the worst people - Thugs, hoodlums, Drug dealers, serial killers etc. are/were heavy swearers. You can watch first 48, Jerry Springer, even the news to find this out. The correlation between trustworthiness and cursing is not just weak, it’s nonexistent. There is, however, evidence to support people who grew up in neglectful, chaotic, or abusive households being heavy swearers. Their emotions overtime can become more unregulated, leading to more outbursts as you clearly showcased twice now. I don’t know what your situation was growing up, but children who grow up with a supportive and loving family do not wake up one morning and start using profanity on a consistent basis because it makes them more "trustworthy."
Wow. Music theory is what drives the ideas behind how music is produced and the intent of the artist / musician / band. Everything is in plain sight, the internet is your oyster... yet you continue stating falsehoods and making blanket statements to make yourself appear wise. What you are trying is not working at even 1% capacity. I highly recommend you visit your local library and hit the textbooks. Not physically. I mean, actually read about human behavioral psychology and music theory before making such laughable claims. |
