Good writing.
I have printed off and read all of that Esoteric thread over the last couple of days. It was damn near giving me an anxiety attack thinking that my $2900 Marantz SA-14 was at the bottom of a pile of dung. I then took a deep breath and realized it was like numerous other threads that I have read proclaiming the vast sonic differences between 1 meter interconnects costing hundreds or thousands of dollars.
I forgot that I had realized that at some point, everyone must call uncle, and for me, I'm at it. I rarely get to sit in the "sweet spot". I rarely get to just listen to music at a "normal" level (75-85 dB at listening position). Realistically, how the hell would I be able to discern a differnce between one excellent CDP and one outstanding?
Are many other people in this boat?
