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.

speedbump6,

"He could and would never settle for a true blind test don’t by independent researchers who could care less about what the results show. No matter how it was done, even if he initially agreed the process was sound, he would find the faults in the methods if the results didn’t turn out as he wished. He’s mad that point abundantly clear."


Not to take sides, but it seems that you are very familiar with roberttdid's inner workings. Could it be that you are slightly biased and incorrect in your strong affirmative statements? No matter how provoked you may feel, do not fall into a trap of disregarding your own statement...

"I’m not arrogant enough to to believe that I know everything..."

speedbump6,

 "...scientific testing isn’t done to prove a personal theory, it’s done to prove the facts"


"Hypothesis" is the word you were looking for. At the same time, "testing", not "proving" would seem much more dignified in the press.

Now if only someone had some independent double blind tests that compared competent and expensive cables ...hmm... 10's of manufacturers, not one public test to promote their wares. Weird huh dude?

When disconnected, the sound is dull, lifeless, practically non-existent!!

when I reconnect them, the DIFFERENCE is IMMEDIATE!!

So count me IN on the cable wars!!
