Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio


The post linked below should be a mandatory reading for all those audiophiles who spend obscene amounts of money on wires. Can such audiophiles handle the truth?

Cables do make difference !
Good cables is not design to improve the sound but to enable the system to fulfill its full potential .Bad cable might severly degrade the sound of a good system however  good cable will not improve the sound of a bad system.

Excatly always trust what you hear and not what others says, once I went to my dealer and we made an experience we took Tellurium interconnect cables and change their cables to the same system we started with their cheapest one to the most expensive one the results were unambiguous the more expensive the cable is the better is the sound the improvement was unmistakable and obvious, I couldn't of course afford to buy the most expensive one but settled on their mid price interconnect for my system with astonishing improvement. 
Why stop on cables ??? maybe all speakers , amplifiers, sources are the same why bother to waste money on expensive components ? Just buy stock cables and cheap hi fi system and you are all set...
I didn’t read Mr. Russell artical and will not bother to do so in the near future because I am sure it’s total bulshit .
All of us in this audiophile hobey knows that every component in our system is extremely important to achieve the sound we are looking for and cables are not exception and are very important
part of our hi-fi system.

The ones that can’t hear difference
between cables will never admit that their hearing is not sensitive enough it’s easier for them to jump to the wrong conclusion that all cables are the same.It’s like trying to explain to color blind person the difference between colors...

There is no point to argue with people that can't hear difference between cables becuse I know that they aren't really audiophiles but just  impostors. 
It’s really beyond me how can science
measure things like brightness , seperation between instruments, soundstage quality, level of details act ?

To say that all cables are the same is like saying for example that all power amplifications that share the same specifications will have identical sound, it’s nonsense of course .

I didn't say identical parts I said identical specifications,  they will not sound the same that's for sure.
In our hobby the only factor that is matter is our hearing and no 'scientific' neither 'science' theory will tell me what is good or bad for my hi fi system, Of course there are many brands that are selling ridiculous price cables that not justify its costs but there are many others with really good cables that do improve the sound the only test for us is to make a demo and to decide what is good for our system.
Those who can't 'see' the difference between cables will never admit that their hearing is not skilled/ sensitive enough It's easier for them to jump to the false conclusion that all cables are the same.
The roger-russell article is not relevant till science will be able to provide accurate tests for measuring:
Brightness
Seperation between instruments
Quality of treble and bass
Soundstage quality
Level of details
Level of transparency 
Level of refinement 

All the" scientific " tests are not relevant for cables because they didn’t found a reliable scientific tests for the human musical skills hearing.
