Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck

Thank you, 6ch. Courage.

I do not mind being reminded. You may keep doing that. People telling me I'm a windbag is not a bad thing to hear now and then, especially because its true (I am working on it...). Actually, I have enjoyed your non-dual "pointing" in the past. Just thought this went a little over the line. Like I said to you, though, I have gone off myself sometimes, so it happens.

Its forgotten as far as I'm concerned.

To audiogon: people make mistakes, all of us. It takes courage to say sorry. 6ch said that he may not be posting anymore. That was not my intent, and although I realize that this is your decision, as the one who cited it, I don't think it rises to a level where 6ch should be barred. I never felt that strongly, just wanted to hold up a mirror. Again, it takes courage to look into that mirror. That should mean something.

6ch, say somthing, not say something, people learn and grow from both. And, I don't mind being stuck with you, really.

Be well.

In french this is, "mon semblable, mon frere"

Does this mean we're done with these deeply profound discussions of the relative value of cable? Am I on the right thread?

Nrchy, I think the more refined and complex a system gets, every single part of it plays an important role and in the end the whole is certainly more than all its parts. In a system tweaked to the utmost, every little change matters and can be heard and therefore, yes, in my opinion, everything is a component, in its old Latin sense of the word. And in this complex interrelationship of electronics, plugs, wires and transducers, to me, wires have become as important as any other component and this goes down to any part of which I have learnt, that it can make a difference to the sound as I percieve it. Cheers,

It is nice that this was able to be resolved by the end of the year.
Happy New Year all!!!
