Odd question, since the answer doesn't have anything to do with whether someone follows science or snake oil.

Bad question-- assumes absolutes when there are none. I'll bet, you will never be able to rank a set of different cables by price even if one cable costs $200 (a reasonable price for a high quality build and materials cable) and a $10,000 cable. Confirmation bias and the placebo effect are the bane of this hobby. Hearing is funny. People "think" they hear a this thang or that ALL THE TIME and they are often wrong. Trouble is, they're also never in doubt. Either you can reliably discern qualitative differences without bias (know what they are) or not. I'm betting no one can. I have a high end system, believe in quality, and basic acoustic principals -- I choose not to believe in specious claims made by companies that are often raking in obscene margins based upon same. But, hey, it's a free country. |
Fluid Dynamics when applied to multi-land highways and interstates with average rush-hour traffic gives one plenty to consider when in 'slow 'n go' states, @rodman99999 ;) |
Lots of, "bets" and assertions from wesheadley, lacking one iota of documentation or anything (in the least) demonstrable. Then their: "I choose", leaving the ubiquitous, "TRUST ME!", to be assumed. Don’t waste a microsecond, reading the blather from the deaf, delusional, and divergent (from fact). No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new interconnects. There are simply too many variables. The only way you’ll know for certain, is try them for yourself. The least expensive way: contact the guys at The Cable Company and take advantage of their lending library. For a pittance, you can try a few of their offerings and the rental fees are applied to any purchase made. Whether to explore/spend further: up to you!* https://www.usedcable.com/ https://www.thecableco.com/ *YES: the USA's still a free country (thank a Vet)! Happy listening! |
