WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?

@calvinj

To each his own we all have different paths to get where we sonically wanna be.

I have seen some interesting paths here from members, headphone paths, budget paths, luxurious paths, pro paths, and sadly a few people that don’t seem to have found any path except the one that turns their money into a failed experiment in gear hopping.

Since we are on the topic of paths I ended up with the "enjoyment" we are fond of in a path that was simple, but not easy, the acoustic path. You are correct, you can get their by ear alone, but the money and aggravation you waste is not enjoyable for me at least. Once I got my acoustics right for my room BAM, path confirmed.

BTW, the room is 50% of the sound, even if you actually heard the gear you are posting about it doesn't always translate the same in a different room with different components.

@kota1 definitely understand. My room is a difficult one. The stuff that I have works for my room and my listening tastes. I got lucky for part of my journey. I worked for an audio company that I did collections for as a lawyer. The part owner was an audiophile so I got long 3 to 4 month demos on equipment that I didn’t have to buy. The owner was a lawyer like me but would switch gear and I would get to listen to it until he sold it in my home. I also worked with a couple of other guys as well. Even with that I did spend quite a bit of money.  I’m in a great place now with my INFIGO METHOD 4 DAC AND METHOD 6 AMPLIFIER AND MY GATOFM6 SPEAKERS ALL INFIGO CABLING. Yes I work for Infigo now which has allowed me some access but I’m very happy with my system. I’m really enjoying what we are doing and pleased with the music. This journey is truly different for all of us. 20 years in and happy. No gear  switching just listening 

 Infigouriating  pontunication makes me want to:

...pop some popcorn and see "...how long, can this go on....?

"Been lookin' at the cable lines, goin' down down down..

lookin' a that cable line *woops* here comes a stepdown...."

(..and I thought Saturday nights were right for fightin' get a little action in...) 😏

...😬....figures....just in time for the commercial....

Thankfully I've mute and FF....😏....*poof*

Calvinj,

you don't always have to hear the cables to know if they're going to be better or worse than something, for example your cables use inferior OFC wire which is 70-year-old technology OCC single crystal is far superior and rectangular OCC single crystal is even better than the round, single crystal wire was proven over 50 years ago to be far superior to anything OFC at any price, you can't change the law of physics, OFC wire has 1500 crystal barriers per foot which are little fractures in the wire  OCC single crystal has none in 125 m so the signal doesn't have to jump through little fractures in the wire that act like diodes and sheer off harmonics, maybe you should get some and put it up against your overpriced wire but get the wire that's similarly priced to yours and you'll see that it'll absolutely blow yours away, The neotech Sahara and Amazon which is the silver and copper rectangular OCC will leave your cables in the dust.
