Rgd, I understand what you are saying. To a certain extent, cables are a synergistic, equipment thing. However, rarely,if ever do reviewers make objective tests on cables, which I think is important. J. Peter Moncrieff does that. I realize that some of his glowing reviews appear to read like the next coming, however that is his style of writing. He doesn't review much anymore, but when he does, he is passionate about it whether it is a "next coming" or negative review.I have usually been in agreement with Mr. Moncrieff's reviews,subjectively. But in the end,I'll go along with "another man's treasure..."
