I don't understand what the nonsense is all about. The GM cables sound great in my setup. I've auditioned much more expensive cable and prefer these. I know little about how they are made, nor do I care.
Frankly, I've never given a rip about how components are made or what parts are being used. Yes, the ingredients are important, but at the end of the day it's all in how it sounds TO YOU. In your room. With your components.
I've been at this for 40+ years and have owned a component from almost all manufacturers of note over the years (Audio Research, CJ, Wilson, Jadis, CAT, Wilson, MIT, Linn, Transparent, Synergistic, PS Audio, Accuphase, etc.). The ultimate arbiter are my own two ears, though I really do look to Forums/posters I trust for ideas on components I should consider. I learned about CT on this board, and I am happy I did.
Just my two cents.
