Who says cables don't make a difference?

Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables". 
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables. 
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.

Cables as important as any component in my system.  I'm building a SYSTEM.  Like wasting a Ferrari using cheap tires.
From my experience more expensive doesn't guarantee best SQ and takes WORK and trial / error  to find the right ones.   With that said, best cables in my system are CRAZY expensive but worth every penny!

I am pretty sure whether you use pure silver wire or cheap copper wire for the CAN bus in a Ferrari, the performance will be the same.

These debates about cables are generally without interest.....

Defenders and opponents are like 2 cats reading the other's grin with a replicating grin, and the 2 cats disapearence at the end let only their 2 grins mimicking one another, without any cats anymore like the Cheshire cat in Lewis Carroll....

mitch2,

geoffkait does not have that particular Discman I linked to, but his also does have ESP.

At the same time, I do have that yellow one with ESP which may explain why I understand geoffkait so well. Both of us have ESP. I just do not use mine that much.

mitch2: "... or when listening outdoors in a thunderstorm. I suspect geoff is all about "Safety First". That explain's it. Mitch hit the nail on the head. Geoff got hit in the head by lightening!!!
