DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

taras22,

Ok, so you made an admittedly silly equivalence between a change in 3dB and the change in lights from on and off in an a room. 


I portrayed that difference as subtle but distinct.  Which it is. And for reasons backed up by the links I gave.

So what's left?  What does claiming you and others here are not "average" have to do with what I've been saying, which is that if the audible differences between cables are so obvious and distinctly heard  as many claim (by Golden Eared audiophiles, if you wish), they should be discernible in blind testing by those same people?


It looks like this was the end game of your comment:

Was just trying to get your goat, or more correctly, your herd of goats.

Great, more attempts to bait and annoy from the pro-audiophile-cables side.   What is it that brings out this need to bait instead of discuss?


Again, I find it ironic that people here complain that skeptics are troll-like and are just baiting others, and yet take a look at the character of the responses I keep getting here.

(And, thanks to those of you who *have* been open-minded to this discussion...unlike for instance the OP).

Oh calm down....was just poking some fun at you....So please accept my apologies , I simply didn’t realize you were so thin skinned ( though the smell of burning martyr should have been a clue, can't believe I didn't notice ).

And btw not really a pro in the audiophile cable side, it’s more of a fun side project ( though it does produce a cash flow so I suppose a pro technically ). Actually I’m a pro in the same sausage making machine as you, and coincidentally, more or less in the same department.

Not not a one way conversation. I’m in this hobby to enjoy the music. I listen to people’s thoughts. This ain’t debate class for me. I talk and debate for a living.  I know they make a difference and they matter. I honestly don’t read the super long thesis questions. No disrespect. I just don’t think you have good hearing. So for me to respond is pointless 

Ah, the classic "calm down" reply. "Why you so mad bruh"?

Baiting or silly replies are hardly reasons to get upset; I just point them out for what they are, and note they are relevant for claims that it’s the skeptics looking to tweak noses, not the other way around ;-)

No need for apologies taras22. We don’t all need to write dissertations in a comment section. (As I’m accused...somewhat rightly...of doing).

Nice to make the acquaintance of someone else doing more-or-less what I do! I’m off to make more sausage...

Cheers,

Not trying to be dismissive or anything. I have heard the top systems and cables in the country. Vintage audio and today’s high fi is really different. I’ve spent years listening, trying and review gear and cables. So I have my opinion and you have yours.
