Interconnects and non-believers


For anyone who denies there are differences in cables, I have news for you.
There are vast differences.  I just switched interconnects between my CD transport (Cyrus) and DAC (Schiit Gumby), and the result was transformational.  Every possible parameter was improved: better definition, better soundstaging,  better bass, better depth etc.
I can’t understand how any audiophile with ears can deny the differences.  Is it delusion or dogma?

Clear - 

that your comment is amusing, entertaining or light hearted in some way when it really just doesn't make any sense at all


Those who use punctuation are taken more seriously by me. Especially if you are discounting my argument. 

 you can not decide for another individual person whether some upgrade is or is not worth the expense
 
I think it's clear from the context I'm speaking for myself and that I am not speaking in absolutes. The way my sentence is structured leaves plenty of room for personal values and my post was mostly about answering the OP's point: 

I can’t understand how any audiophile with ears can deny the differences.

And my point is, there's a difference between whether cables sound different and whether that sound difference is worth the money being asked. So to rephrase it, even if I hear a difference it may not be worth the asking price. 

I think this is an important thing for audiophiles to consider, no? 

Best,

I don’t always deny there’s a difference, but I often deny the difference is worth the cost. :)

Instead of swapping out tens of thousands of dollars in gear, room acoustics and tone controls are much more cost effective options. :)

Also, maybe make your own loudspeakers once in your hobby life. You'll learn a great deal and it will probably transform your ideas about where to spend your time and money. 

Best,
