Brave man, McGowan...

thyname,

If you spent time in threads that were not just tweaks, you would know that I don’t just say "don’t do that". But again, and --- Y O U ---- still do not understand this. Either address what I post, or don’t, but I am not going to entertain attacks on me, or meaningless attempted calls to authority, or straw-mans.

And you specifically I have no interest in dealing with, just like I had 0 interest in dealing with you on FB. You creep me out.

If you were not so lazy and narrow in your reading on here, you would know (and should know) that I have views that are both contrary to and agree with the divisive sides on here.

LOL! An interesting being you are. Which forums are you talking about, and who are you in those forums? Your name and handle?

That’s just great! It looks like we have a budding bromance happening right here and it’s Thanksgiving. I think I’m going to tear up. Sniff, sniff 😢

 Interesting that those on this forum who have a professional history of working in the scientific/engineering/physics field; those who work or have a long history of working in the engineering/mixing/producing end of making music; those who have a history of building electrical components and have the knowledge and understanding of how they actually work - are the ones continually ridiculed here, when they question someones outlandish, unfound claims of grander, especially when attached to an even more outlandish price tag.
IMO - good electronics are not an imaginative art form, they are products of sound engineering and development - adhering to established and proven principles of science and physics, backed up and proven both in the lab and in the studio......Jim

As one of those who has to make things work, and spent time at some of the most respected R&D orgs in the world, i'll say only this:
1. "makes a difference" does not mean better, nor consistently the same2. When i poo-poo some tweeks (and to be fair that includes most very costly cables) - it has to be in the context of "benefit for money".  Otherwise spend the same money elsewhere and get more benefit.
In closing when we argue "science vs perception" I'll quote someone vastly more accomplished than me, Daniel Von Reclinghausen, Chief Engineer of HH Scott way back when, who said: ""If it measures good and sounds bad, -- it is bad. If it sounds good and measures bad, -- you've measured the wrong thing."
Amen.  We don't know what we don't know - but we ought to try to learn it!
be thankful that we can all enjoy music and this hobby, and remember its all for enjoyment.
