| A fresh approach to cable analysis I want to offer something that may surprise some people in this thread: a genuine concession. The cable/crossover interaction is a legitimate variable that I think deserves more credit than the objectivist side typically gives it. The vast majo... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis @goodlistening64 Thanks for the kind words — and the cable offer, genuinely appreciated! But I’m happy with what I have. I looked at that AQ earlier and like it. But not enough 😉😉 On the Lewis point: I wasn’t bringing religion into the argument... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis @seymour-krelborn The Shunyata medical citation is actually my argument, not yours — they're used in medical settings precisely because their EMI shielding properties are measurable and documented. That's the objectivist position exactly. And y... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis @jafox C.S. Lewis, of all people, put it best in Mere Christianity: "If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed." The same principle applies here. The absolute certainty that one is immune to bias, to marketing... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis These latest responses confirm one thing clearly: people who believe in cables, believe in cables. Full stop. And honestly, that belief is self-reinforcing — it manifests as a genuinely heightened listening experience and real enjoyment. I’m not h... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis @seymour-krelborn You’re actually making my point for me — there isn’t a single well-controlled double blind test that reliably confirms audible differences between cables. Not one. With full methodology or without. Zero. So why not? That’s the qu... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis @bruce19 hence its on the first page "AI can make mistakes", I let it write it itself....it often spouts doubious claims with total confidence, when challenged, it apologizes....lol...its scary how "smart" and at the same time totally stupid it is... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis @cleeds I’m not in a position to throw anyone under the bus — am I certain? Yes. Do I know? No. When I said "not unique," I was referring to the marketing fluff of most if not all cable guys. Read the first section of my attached doc for conte... | |
| A fresh approach to cable analysis I want to add a small but telling contribution to bruce19’s original idea. I recently opened up a cable I had purchased. What I found inside was an industrial-grade cable with instantly recognizable, fully documented physical characteristics. ... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. Stranded cables give up accuracy and precision. Unless you want such tone control because it masks mask a flaw of the chain or you just like e.g boomy base, go solid core. DNM or Acoustic Revive Av-spc | |

| Network cable rabbit hole haha, now it gets religious when people start swearing and defending their bias ;-) stay cool, I dont have all the answers, I just have good questions for which you did not provide any conclusive answers. I guess I keep searching and asking... | |
| Network cable rabbit hole @mggartner etherregen is technically and logically an unmanaged switch. It uses however an internal flip-flop for isolation and reclocking. So in this regard it is unique but in no way I would call it a repeater. @audphile1 you said that your s... | |
| Network cable rabbit hole @audphile1 Define "highest" quality. I would argue that for this case -as somebody wrote above- a stiff patch cable (which is solid core) is highest quality and making it gold or anything else will NOT increase any relevant performance parameter i... |
