1st, Jinjuku, please do come to my home in Denver while you are attending the Audiofest in Denver coming up in October. I live in north Denver.
2nd, I am not a gambler, especially since I now make less than I once paid in taxes.
3rd, I have two five meter 6A cables. One from Blue Jeans and one home made (with my friends). from Western Electric specialty made ethernet that we subsequently cryo-treated. The Siemens connectors, each end, cost twice as much as the full spec Blue Jeans cable. And I would say the improvement is not "obvious" but more like a 2% improvement. So yes, a 2% improvement for 10+X the money may not be a financially balanced investment, but then better audio never made that claim.
4th, I run Teo, Audioquest Sky & Cheetah to my fully custom tube based pre-amp and amp. Disruptor USB from my laptop back to my Wadia DAC. I make minor changes to my equipment monthly. This month was gold pin tube sockets for the pre-amp tubes (just as an example). Last month was single resistor ladder separate mono volume controls, the 6th set of pots in my pre-amp.
5th, Al Stiefel, who started Audiofest, was my mentor taught me a bit about high end audio.
So, come on out and we can decide together if there are sound improvements in Ethernet.
