Cable Snake Oil Antidote

Actually, I appreciate the incessant dribble, from the cable neigh-sayers(as in donkey-speak).  The snorts of derision, keep my sinuses clear.

@geoffkait -  " Snake oil is a two for one.(etc)"     PERFECT!

@ghosthouse -  Unless you're a trolling, neighsayer.  Then- you're falling behind!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gROO7xSTxfY

@ghosthouse - I was agreeing with you, outside of the fact, only 24 posts would put them behind the typical naysayer’s curve.

Both Ocean Way Recording and Bernie Grundman Mastering have used Cardas cabling.(can’t swear to what they’re using now). Ask them, if it really matters to you! You may have heard of a few of their clients. ie: http://www.berniegrundmanmastering.com/hits.php and http://www.oceanwayrecording.com/about-awards.php Then, there’s also Chesky: http://www.chesky.com/content/about-chesky

@ghosthouse - So many variables(aural acuity/sources/systems/rooms/experience/training) and so much resistance(can’t work so I won’t try/won’t spend more than 50 Cents a foot for wire). Thus far, there’s no known metric, for most of the subtleties that wires and fuses can out, just as no one can really say, why two amps that measure exactly the same, can sound so different(to ALMOST anyone). No one has actually observed electrons, or- knows what’s happening electrically, on the quantum level, which begs the question: https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/do-you-suffer-from-the-dunning-kruger-effect--net-22227

@ieales- Wouldn’t it be nice, if phase anomalies were the only problems/issues, that we had to address, in out efforts for good sound? Again- So many variables.

@geoffkait - There’s a lot that is known, but- like I said, " Thus far, there’s no known metric, for most of the subtleties that wires and fuses can out...". No one has actually observed photons, in a conductor, either. And- like you said, " Nobody has stepped up to the plate and answered the burning question, “Do photons have mass?” Electrical Theory is called such for a reason. There are a few, "Laws" regarding electricity, but- still much that is theorized.  https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/162993/flow-of-electrons-in-electric-current and http://www.pbs.org/transistor/science/info/quantum.html Often, the more you learn, the more you learn you were wrong: https://www.mi.mun.ca/users/cchaulk/eltk1100/ivse/ivse.htm

@geoffkait -  "Whatever"?   I haven't heard that retort to the truth, since my little girl's mind matured.  Thanks for the memories!   You asked, " So what’s not to know?"  No one KNOWS for certain, what part in the conduction of electricity electrons and photons actually play.  As I said, " Electrical Theory is called such for a reason. There are a few, "Laws" regarding electricity, but- still much that is theorized."  I'm trying to understand your rejection of that fact.  ie(for inquiring minds): https://www.quora.com/Are-photons-involved-in-all-forms-of-electricity-for-example-when-it-flows-thr...

@ieales-  Yes, Sir: I never thought you were intimating that phase was the sole issue.    Sometimes we think we've comprehension of what another's written, but- what we've understood, isn't what they meant.  Isn't clarity fun?

@geoffkait -  Excellent quotes!
