Most Important, Unloved Cable...

"All you will ever get here is evasiveness.

It is exactly the same that Randi found.

When challenged hucksters are full of bravado and then they get even louder and louder about how confident they are."

>>>>Whoa! What? Are you insane? I was the subject of Randi’s trolling in five count em five of his weekly blogs. He went after me for the clock, he went after me for the Intelligent Chip and he went after me for the Teleportation Tweak. Randi was only interested in one thing. Getting attention. As a former Las Vegas magician he was skilled in drumming up an audience. But Randi had no interest whatsoever in high end audio, or low end audio for that matter. Except if it got him some attention. One assumes the business of going after dowsers and spoon benders was rapidly drying up. His whole James Randi Education Foundation schtick was founded on the idea of going after the paranormal. That’s why Johnny Carson left him a million bucks, to found the "education foundation." To go after charlatans and ghost busters. Not to go after audiophiles. Hel-loo! But, as they say in Paree, any port in a storm. ⛈ ⛈

How anyone can equate high end audio with the paranormal is just plane crazy. I even had one of Randi’s goons threaten to kick my you know what. I even had one of his goon’s challenge me to a karate fight on board the Randi yatch down in the Caribbean. I declined the offer as I did not wish to hurt the poor fellow. The trouble with pseudo skeptics is they’re not equipped to deal with reality. It’s all about attention, you know, like the YouTube video currently under discussion. 😛

+1, geoffkait. 

He's got way more attention here then on YouTube, that's why he won't leave 😜

Everyone understands here how music is being streamed off Ethernet and played back.

That’s news to me.

I have a simple question:

When you are playing back music and the Ethernet cable is disconnected and you still hear music. What happens to the SQ?

When you are playing back music and the Ethernet cable is disconnected and it’s going to play for ~ another 30 seconds and I place a different Ethernet cable back in what happens at the point I plug it back in and what happens at the point the Application calls on the OS to prefetch?

You are a computer audio luddite.

I'm willing to deal with the reality of showing the community at large, via a YT video, on your own setup you crashing and burning.

Whatever your current RJE is, I'll make one 300% longer, same construction (shield etc). Put it on Periscope in real time. 

Let's see how well you deal with reality. 

The next to last comment on the 1st page of this discussion by Milpai is the straightforward truth. Just because you or your equipment can't hear the difference in quality cables doesn't mean the difference doesn't exist for others. I've had systems in my home from peanuts to $100K+, And cables, including Ethernet (Cat 5, 6, 7 & 8), make a world of difference. In fact, I don't ever remember when changing a cable didn't either improve or degrade what I experienced in my not so humble opinion.
