Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs
@squared80 -              "... fall back on science and objective facts."               Let's hear/read some of the that, that establishes/proves this:      "Get cheap 12AWG OFC cables; nothing else you buy will sound better."             ... 
Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs
     No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition.   There are simply too many variables.      LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, cr... 
Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs
 In fact, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a $5k cable and a coat hanger.       Thus speaketh the typical (self-appointed/self-deluded) Denyin'tology pundit.                                   All they left out was, "Trust ME... 
What's my best upgrade options
@squared80 - "Whatever you do, don't waste your money on cables or power cords. As long as you've got OFC cables, nothing you buy will change the sound AT ALL, save for longer runs that may need 12AWG instead of 14/16AWG."          Yet another... 
critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve?
@squared80 - "Don’t listen to people telling you to "upgrade" those cables. They don’t believe in science and quantifiable facts. You’re 12AWG is way more than enough as long as it’s simple OFC. No cable will ever sound better."      Yet anoth... 
Need Opinions for Different Cable Manufacturers/Cable Designs
@squared80 -  "Put down the snake oil and join the science team, where quantifiable facts matter. "          Yet another example of of willful ignorance, or- is it (actually) ignorance of the truth/facts/science, gleaned since the 1800's, rega... 
Transparent Audio power cords
@jji666 -        BTW, it’s science that says the earth is round, and the science deniers who say otherwise...so when you come up with the flat-earther trope, that really refers to the cable believer camp, not the science and engineering camp. ... 
Transparent Audio power cords
 Does Nelson Pass recommend "special" AC cables? Uh...no.          Things may have changed, but: as of not very long ago, Frank Dickens, the owner of Silent Source cables, was basically on staff with Pass and: they voiced their equipment with h... 
Transparent Audio power cords
     "Newsflash: power cords won't change the sound."      (squared80, Naysayer Church member)      "Louis Pasteur's theory of germs is ridiculous fiction."  (Pierre Pachet, Professor of Physiology at Toulouse , 1872)       "The abdomen, the che...

digital and interconnect cables burn in
@mclinnguy -        Even 24 years later: some folks are still out there, interested in burning in their cables.                                       Of course: some, less patient than others.        The Ayre CD has Pink, White and Brown Noise ... 
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
@twhitezzz -        How sad, that your your awareness of the sciences, since the 1900's, is so (blatantly) deficient.                                         "Alchemy"?                                                HARDLY!         You're simp... 
digital and interconnect cables burn in
      For a way to burn in interconnects; I've found a cheapo DVD/CD player and the 'Irrational But Efficacious' CD,  set to play repeatedly, a good way to accomplish the task.     Especially: since my CDP has six Siemens CCa valves, in it's outpu... 
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
     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, read... 
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
@fleschler - Feynman's views are where we should start but in life, decisions have to be made (or else made for us).  In my professions in law, real estate and finance as well as medical and food decisions for family, I have to have conclusions ...
