Who says cables don't make a difference?

Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables". 
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables. 
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.

dandy,

You have no idea what that means. You renege on your challenges and run away when you lose. Look at the 3 of you ... trying to gang up like little school yard bullies.  You make me laugh. whatshisname even sounds like a school yard bully. Excellent company you guys are keeping with each other.

"What is hilarious is between you, whatshisname, dandy2, ISO, etc. you still can’t make a reasonable argument between all of you. All you have are personal insults."

To be fair david, you have called everyone on that list ignorant. So there is that...

Please understand that many (most?) audiophiles use there ears as a guide to what sounds best in there system(s). They do that regardless of measurements telling them there shouldn't be a difference. That is the crux of it, & it ends up as a circular argument as those that cannot tell the difference tell those that do it's simply bias, placebo, waste of money, wishful thinking, whatever.

I can tell you wholeheartedly that cables & tweaks make my system shine. Does it sound good without them? Yes... but it sounds a lot better with them in place.

Heck, maybe that is because moving your chair 1 inch will make a lot bigger difference than changing most cables ....    but someone who makes a cable challenge and then does not follow through on it, or who posts a marketing blurb about feedback may not know that.
