Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio

@cleeds 

According to the Cambridge dictionary, you are quite wrong. This is what they have to say about "should".

"We use should most commonly to talk about what is the ideal or best thing to do in a situation."

And below is the link to the relevant page. You should follow it. :))

But the key question remains: can cablephiles handle the truth?

@toddvernone,

Oh thank you, defiantboomerang, for saving us again from our own stupidity. Dude, why are you trying to be everyone’s mom? You come on here and immediately start posting stuff as though the rest of us have never read anything about audio and/or are too stupid to figure it out.

...Great, go listen to music and leave us alone.

Dear Sir, you don’t own this forum. Have I asked you or your pals to leave? No.

What gives you the right to ask me to leave? The title of this forum is "cables". It is not "audiophile cables"; it is not "I make my own cables", nor "cables only for those who can hear the difference".

This forum is about cables and my OP is about cables.

I realize that this post may come across as hypocritical,

Your words Sir, not mine. :))

@willemj 

You are pointing out a serious problem.

@joecasey 

Same question for you, dear refined gentleman. :))

@geoffkait

The discussion degenerated, true. Mostly because the moderator keeps censoring my posts and prevents constructive debate. I am disappointed.

@calloway 

Thank you. Glad to answer your question. 

Well, I have more than one system. One is a quad va-one + a PC + Quad S1 speakers. 

The other s Benchmark DAC2+ Benchmark power amp + Focal Sopra 1. 

Another one one is a cheap tube cube amp and ELAC Debut 5 speakers. 

Another is a TEAC 501 integrates amplifier + wharfedale diamond 10.1

All stock cables, of course. Never paid a dime for audiophile cables and never will. 

@willemj 

Well, most of it is decent, some is excellent.

The tube cube amp is used for measurements and testing. It is surprisingly bad, but you can learn a lot if you look at the signal on a scope. I mean, it is really bad. The THD is around 10% for low frequencies, it rolls off above 10kHz, the signal is extremely dirty -- contaminated by the switching power supply etc. But you can learn a lot by measuring this thing.
