wolfie62-totally agree with you. You can physically drive 2 cars in a qtr mile and determine which is faster. How are you going to measure the sound of 2 cables? Some people will want to see graphs/measurements (foolish) and others will determine which 1 is better by listening.
Why did somebody have to bring up MC? It has been so nice not having to read his $%&$. We all can agree to disagree on how a speaker sounds after you have heard it. With MC, he is recommending HIS speaker brand to people all while never have listened to them. This is wrong! People shouldn't be recommending something to someone unless you have listened/demoed/owned the product in person, not from reading a trade rag, or talking to the manufacturer.
Another odd thing that happens on a regular basis (especially on ANA) and that's if a cable cost more than $50, it's a snake oil product/waste of money, and no better than a Best Buy $50 cable without even listening to it. These same people use $10-$50 cables thinking technology stops at this price range, but when I asked some of these same people on other websites why they don't use the .05 cent cables that come with the product, they say their cables are much better than the cheap 1's. Doesn't make sense. If you can hear a difference in cheap cables over the crappy cables in the box that come with it, why can't they hear the difference between their $10-$50 cables and a $4000 cable?
