Interconnects and non-believers

My interconnects, of which I have a few, have always been dependable in my expectation of their sound from system to system. So when I want to alter things this way or that way, I have been able to do it and meet my expectations of the sound I thought I would get, when I swap my cables around.

The use of a smiley here is apparently intended to suggest that your comment is amusing, entertaining or light hearted in some way when it really just doesn't make any sense at all you can not decide for another individual person whether some upgrade is or is not worth the expense that is a subjective opinion and you can only reliably and meaningfully make that determination for yourself and even under that circumstance the opinion is only relevant at the time that you make it and may change as your Music Reproduction System and even circumstances change. 

Clear - 

that your comment is amusing, entertaining or light hearted in some way when it really just doesn't make any sense at all

Those who use punctuation are taken more seriously by me. Especially if you are discounting my argument. 

 you can not decide for another individual person whether some upgrade is or is not worth the expense

 
I think it's clear from the context I'm speaking for myself and that I am not speaking in absolutes. The way my sentence is structured leaves plenty of room for personal values and my post was mostly about answering the OP's point: 

I can’t understand how any audiophile with ears can deny the differences.

And my point is, there's a difference between whether cables sound different and whether that sound difference is worth the money being asked. So to rephrase it, even if I hear a difference it may not be worth the asking price. 

I think this is an important thing for audiophiles to consider, no? 

Best,

Whaaat?

Good reaction. 

When cables "sound" different it's because they are doing something to the signal. They are altering the signal to give you the perceived illusion of a wider soundstage. They don't "get out of the way of the music" as so many audiophiles claim. This is BS.

Yes cables sound different because they are manipulating the signal and providing their own sonic signature.
