Ethernet cables

it is never worth spending a 'huge' amount of money on any cable, lan cables included - relative to the rest of your system, your major components

but it IS absolutely worth spending a decent/reasonable amount of money to make sure you have good quality cables, well constructed, using quality materials

how much is reasonable? it depends on your ears your system your spending power....

I recently replaced the ice maker control board in my fridge and snagged a wire.

I soldered on some wire I had on hand for speaker repairs. The ice maker now makes colder cubes than ever before, plus the ice makes a much better crackling sound in the glass. Must be the upgraded wire. 

I think lugsy is mocking us audiophiles.  

Everyone knows that filling ice cube trays with hot water freezes faster.

It's been fun and fascinating to hear how one cable can influence the sound of my system. I've owned a couple dozen or so ethernet cables (from $10-$1000) and they all sounded different to me. The Triode Wire Lab FREEDOM is the first cable that I thought sounded beautiful and RIGHT from the start. And, not expensive at all IMHO.

@lugsytl47 I call 🐂 💩

unless you conducted controlled blind testing, I don’t believe you. I suggest sending your fridge to Amir at ASR to see if his measurements confirm your confirmation bias induced findings.
