Cable comparison charts?

Oh I totally agree you must listen.  I just want to see how the cable's construction changes as price sky rockets.  I also wanted to compare construction between manufactures.  Sorry, it's the engineer in me.

The current Absolute Sound should prove helpful.

other thing i would add is that while very expensive cables may well provide some benefit, in general, i would say the degree/extent of benefit usually makes it the least cost effective upgrade (relative to a change in an actual component - source, amp, speaker)

obviously, if you have the money to burn, want that last .01% of improvement given that you have absolutely maxed out the SQ produced by your rig, then, by all means, go for it

after all we can't take the money with us when we kick the bucket

but from a value for money perspective, i am most leery of claims of super expensive super exotic cables ... the bs meter in me toggles 'on'

Why do people think they can measure everything, I  don't think we even measure the charge that we use, instead we measure the current and voltage of ac power which is the medium not what we actually use, so we don't know how to measure everything involved. There's probably a lot more to a music signal than we understand. We don't even know what gravity is made, and we have probably been studying it a lot longer than an ac music wave.

I would really like to know when the chart shows that there is NO difference between ANY cables!
Or how about any info showing induced noise performance.
Maybe we should start a GoFundMe site establishing a grant program to provide a $100 AC cable to deserving applicants. You must be an audiophile and you must be unable to afford such an item. I bet AQ would participate. Skeptics will show that AQ actually made the cables for less than $2 ea. and we're all making off like bandits.
