Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?

benzman...Pretty easy to hear the improvement. So the answer is if you have a very resolving system an upgraded Ethernet cable will definitely help.  Just proved it in my system.

Yes this can happen and of course there are numerous other comparable testimonials already posted on this forum from other experienced contributors who have personally experienced substantially similar results and I completely agree that a significantly resolving Music Reproduction System is often a prerequisite for achieving results such as you posted. It is most unfortunate however that you will likely encounter responses to your shared experience from others who lack such experience but who have personally concluded based on the "scientific" study of white papers, printed specifications and/or basic textbook theory that such results are impossible except in cases of mental illness such as delusions or hallucinations or otherwise "placebo" affect or "sighted bias" and in fact one such deep thinker has suggested psychiatric medication to "alleviate" such delusions and other admitted that he suffers brain damage from his passed history of drug use but he still thinks listeners with sharp auditory acuity such as yourself are deluded. My efforts to demonstrate this in a public scientific blind listening test did not end well and I was specifically instructed by a Moderator to not provide the person promoting the test with any of the personal information he insisted upon me providing to him personally!

Bottom line is I went out to Williams’ house. We all had a good time and food for thought. Even brought a bottle of Michters' single barrel Bourbon.

He didn’t know that Tidal would cache the entire song and you could pull the plug.

People will often take something trivial and make as big of a deal of it as suites their agenda. Nothing I, nor anyone else, can do about that.

At that point it’s the agenda speaking and not anything else.

Well of course you are free to apply your acquired standards to the reported experience of others and conclude they are "trivial" but it is up to each individual audiophile to decide for thereselves weather such difference's are trivial or represent to them a more significant contribution to the resultant performance of a Music Reproduction System and to the best of my substantial understanding of the human auditory process, system and mechanism there is no evidence at all to support the assertion that the consumption of alcoholic products of any type can in any way enhance the hearing acuity of a listener.

You can make what ever mountains out of molehills you like. Nothing I can do to change that. 

I've also offered to do this at a show. The underlying theme is people and their beliefs are easily separated.

Of course when you are able to get people "jacked up" on hard liquor it is very possible to manipulate them in to what ever belief you want them to embrace perhaps you should be completely candid with this group and tell it's many participants why you have this enduring interest in manipulating outcomes are you a manufacturer or manufacturers rep, promoter or investor attempting to achieve a specific outcome?
