ETHERNET CABLES

Hello Painter24.

I live in Richmond, VA- USA

This thread is an example of personal truth and absolute truth. One group really believes that the 3 foot network cable affects the sound and the other group greatly believes that it does not affect the sound. @fredrik222 is spot on, however at the end of the day, if a person perceives a better sound in their brain, perhaps that is all that matters. We all just want something that sounds (based on our brain’s interpretation) pleasing. This is a very interesting thread.

I don't find his posts be snarky.  A forum should welcome diversity in thought and input.  Every aspect of music reproduction is influenced by the technology and it would unfortunate to lose that perspective.  

I find it amazing that someone thinks that their 10ft cable at home can clean up a stream from thousands of miles away.

This has been shot down so many times now that it's become silly. No one is suggesting that one is cleaning up all the preceding miles of cables before it gets to your place. What one is doing is making sure that the gear is "seeing" what's at the outlet and addressing any noise issues introduced there. 

That argument is the lamest of red herrings.

As for 12many's clumsy way of saying it's all the in mind of the listener, which is another way of saying he's crazy and to let it be, is downright condescending.

All the best,

just let it go @nonoise you will be annoying the ASR crowd and wasting your time. Looks like ASR site may have been down for maintenance or they all just took a wrong exit.
