Cables more hype than value?

Just when one of these threads dies down another rears its ugly head. Agreement will never be reached between the two opposing schools of thought here. Why don't we all just agree to disagree and go on to better/other things?
These discussions never end well and eventually descend into vitriol, name calling and worse.

Reminds of the old saying: "There's two sides to every story, mine and the a**holes". :^)

Why don't we all just agree to disagree and go on to better/other things?

Because there are no better issues for cables.

I've disagreed with you but never mentioned your maturity or experience. I simply doubt you or your systems aural acuity as there are cables laying about my place that all sound different

And here you go again. My hearing or my system is called into doubt.

There are only two possibilities. One possibility is that these cables do measure differently, in terms of the frequency response in your system, and in that case one or more of them is poorly designed. The other possibility is that they all measure the same and you're just imagining the differences.

Irv & Nonoise, thanks for the kind words.
