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?

Muddythink:

”there have been many instances where cable differences have been scientifically shown, proven and established these include measurement based tests as well as double blind, scientific controlled double blind listening tests and yes these are reproduceable”

show me even one. I asked you already. You have failed to substantiate your position, one that I regard as a placebo-induced theological stance.

Elizabeth - Yeah, can you believe they still want to spend time going back-and-forth on this?

Guys, if you don't hear a difference... just don't spend your $$, and let everyone else make their own decisions.  You don't need to make your opinion into a crusade.

Devilboy - You sort of have it backwards.  There is nothing a wire can do to enhance the signal.  All it can do is degrade it to a greater or lesser degree.  The very best cables do the LEAST damage to the signal, thereby allowing you to hear what is in the recording, for example an expansive soundstage.  The inferior cable is doing something (bad) to mask that information.

Elizabeth, I agree that you will not feel you got your money's worth by spending that much.  You can build one for a lot less using, e.g., Furutech plugs (screw-clamp terminations) and UP-OCC bulk cable.
