Interconnects and non-believers

Clearthink: “You can STFU now.”

wow. What a classy guy. Have to resort to crude language now, do you?

thanks for the link. I’ll read it but it’s highly unlikely to move the needle. Imho these things don’t pass cost benefit analysis.

Btw, I have an engineering buddy who has 6 Grammy awards for his engineering work for Deutsche Grammophon. He built his own recording studio, speakers, etc and designed his own editing software. And he can play world class violin. The guy is a genius. His opinion: Are there differences? Yes. Are they meaningful? Don’t waste your money.

Do what you want. Just don’t expect me to follow you down that marketing rabbit hole.

On another note, my friend also says the Shure V15 type III was maybe the best cartridge ever made. Only $500 in its day. Good does not have to be expensive. The unique, proprietary needle design was half the magic, finding a used cartridge and re-tipping it is an impossibility.

It does not matter if he is a genius or if you are a genius or whatever you're claims to intellectual superiority are whether something is worth the price asked is a purely subjective determination and decision and to presume that because you are inherently superior gives you the wherewithall to decide others decision's for them is just the sort of "dogma" that would be expected from someone such as yourselfand the name you have chosen to use here.

There is no cost to read the truthful and revealing article that I sent you it is obvious that you’re mind is already made up that’s the way it is with fervent religious fundamentalists such as yourself nothing can in any way intrude or cloud your cherished beliefs you will not allow that or even the tinyest bit of doubt creep into you’re closed mind.

Deutsche Grammophon used to be a real contender. So did the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. They were unbeatable But that was a long time ago. This is now. Things change. 🤡 Other than that, partner, thanks for the excellent example of an Appeal to Authority.

Muddythink,

A - do you know how to read? I said “do what you want”
B - don’t characterize me as something I am not in order to coddle your own insecurities. I am an agnostic. I do my research and then come to a conclusion. I’ve tried several expensive cables in my system, I got MAYBE 5% improvement. The price didn’t justify it. YOU are the one who is set in your ways, but the Marxist in me in your case does not ascribe it to theology. You are so invested in your position that I’m beginning to suspect that you work for a cable company. 
C - as for my friend, this audience deserves to know that there is highly credible professional opinion out there that doesn’t by into the claims of cable manufacturers, which he regards as overstated. 

I am now done with this thread. Carry on, have a nice weekend.
