Interconnects and non-believers

For anyone who denies there are differences in cables, I have news for you.
There are vast differences.  I just switched interconnects between my CD transport (Cyrus) and DAC (Schiit Gumby), and the result was transformational.  Every possible parameter was improved: better definition, better soundstaging,  better bass, better depth etc.
I can’t understand how any audiophile with ears can deny the differences.  Is it delusion or dogma?

speaker cables are important
interconnects are 10x more so

think of it in this manner: you live in  a dry area and you have a rooftop cistern for rainwater. in your home you have a storage tank with sophisticated purification filters.

you decide to connect the two with a dozen dirty socks that you have sewn together

jazzdc,

Your analogy seems to presume a rather huge level of incompetency in cable design. 

Cables seem to have been well designed to transmit hi fidelity signals for a great many years, so I'm not sure why a system is likely to end up so compromised.

In cable terms, what for instance would equate to "dirty socks?"

Glory be--I needed a cuppa and a lie down--I agree with something
GeoffKait said !!!!--Cables are NON directional well in my system anyway -no sonic difference (SE) Chris Sommovigo --who's cables I use
spoke the same tongue.

Re the Transparent Music link "Boxes" Corey Greenberg cut one open
some time back-- the Pic should be on Google search somewhere.

This morning I was exploring SVS Sub interconnects. I was referred to their Soundpath shielded sub cable. One reviewer wrote this candid comment:

“I was using coat hangers for speaker wires before (just kidding), what a difference these cables made to my sound system. I can hear instruments and voices that where not audible before. I’am very pleased with the quality and performance from these cables. Highly recommended.“

@johnread57I note the statement that the cable was directional. Directional only because one end was earthed at the source end thus grounding EMI and RF. I note some poster's claim all wire cable is directional, but I still do not understand why...
