I'm not sure about other readers or members but when I pop in on an HEA forum and see 420 responses on a topic like this (where the answer is fairly obvious) in only a weeks period of time, why does my mind see a bunch of senior citizens with their shirts off in a Walmart parking lot ready for a rumble?
Are you guys really this bored?
back to the OP
"Question is, do "Audiophile" Ethernet cables make any difference/ improvement in sound quality?"
Of course there's a difference anytime you make any physical change to an audio chain. The whole reason why we called it a chain is because the pathway of signal passing conduits are connected.
This doesn't answer better or worst, or, practical or not. It also doesn't address how good a person's measurement testing or hearing is. It's just a fairly simple "Q" that deserved an "A".
Now while you guys are in the parking lot getting it on, don't expect me and the "Get Tuned Girls" to stop by handing out suntan lotion.
have a great Saturday
