Most Important, Unloved Cable...

Ethernet. I used to say the power cord was the most unloved, but important cable. Now, I update that assessment to the Ethernet cable. Review work forthcoming. 

I can't wait to invite my newer friend who is an engineer who was involved with the construction of Fermilab, the National Accelerator Lab, to hear this! Previously he was an overt mocker; no longer. He decided to try comparing cables and had his mind changed. That's not uncommon, as many of you former skeptics know. :)

I had my biggest doubts about the Ethernet cable. But, I was wrong - SO wrong! I'm so happy I made the decision years ago that I would try things rather than simply flip a coin mentally and decide without experience. It has made all the difference in quality of systems and my enjoyment of them. Reminder; I settled the matter of efficacy of cables years before becoming a reviewer and with my own money, so my enthusiasm for them does not spring from reviewing. Reviewing has allowed me to more fully explore their potential.  

I find fascinating the cognitive dissonance that exists between the skeptical mind in regard to cables and the real world results which can be obtained with them. I'm still shaking my head at this result... profoundly unexpected results way beyond expectation. Anyone who would need an ABX for this should exit the hobby and take up gun shooting, because your hearing would be for crap.

The offer is considered a wager and against the TOS. Normally I would just rescind the $2000 and travel expense paid by you requirement. This would put me back into compliance of the TOS but I'm not going to come out of pocket to basically perform what would be tantamount to smack down because that is how it's going to go.

Intellectual honesty seems to be limited to me and just a few other posters in this thread.

Anyways you have my email and barring an exception from the TOS we still have a thread devoid of people that actually have faith in their ears.

It's still a sold outcome for me either way.

This person" is singular so the correct word is his. Singular possessive. Case closed.

"Their, them, themselves, they (as singular pronouns)
Many English speakers believe that using the plural pronouns they, them, themselves, and their in gender-neutral singular constructions is incorrect. For example, these people would consider the them in “call a friend and ask them to come over” to be wrong because them by definition refers to multiple people, whereas in this clause its antecedent (a friend) is singular.

But there are problems with this view."

You are inferring a gender when it hasn’t been provided to you. Keep on swinging and missing.

>>>>Again with the logical fallacies. English must be your second language. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Except when it comes to English grammar.

@jinjuku,

We get it!!! You’re are not in ’Cable makes a difference’ camp. Then why you continue to participate in a thread that contrary to your core beliefs?

May be your ears gotten immune to any possible audible improvements from barking at people who are actually willing to try and keep an open mind.

You are too funny it was a SCAM and that is why it was deleted and if it is not a SCAM you could proceed based on what you are saying here by "rescinding" the $2,000 requirement which you say you would "normally" do which is a way of saying you've done this before which I do not believe and I do not believe you have the money to back up your claim either you are as I have stated previously a winkly dinkler there is nothing you have posted here that is true you are trying to execute a SCAM and that is pretty obvious to everyone here except shadorne who has been exposed as one of your sockpuppets.

It’s funny how people take naysayers sooo seriously, as if they have legitimate arguments. It’s like saying The Amazing Randi just has a difference of opinion about high end cables or that he’s just skeptical that the Intelligent Chip works. Give me a break. It’s nothing of the kind. It’s just that people get a lot of pleasure going after audiophiles. Just like they do going after spoon benders and ghost whisperers. 👻 You’ve seen cats tease dogs, right? Same thing.🐩
