I used to love my big V8s too. E39 M5, Corvette Z06. Then I bought a 911 and man is that whole chassis and flat 6 fun.
As for the EE degrees, I have one and I had a coworker who was a signals guy (Intel) who swore cables would make no difference in a stereo. I had three different options and after switching between them, he conceded that all three were much different.
I do not understand the few people who claim they make no difference.
As for the statement that cables can only transmit a signal without changing it, I suggest that is only partially true. You are still transmitting from one driver network to one receiving network and the cable (impedance, inductance, etc) will affect how that signal is transmitted. But yeah, the whole point is to create a system where you like the sound and enjoy listening to it.
I am buying an awesome amp tomorrow and probably a PS Audio Stellar GCD DAC/Pre next week. Then I have a problem because I don’t have any XLR cables at the house because I’ve never had a balanced pre-amp before. This will be interesting.
