@cd You did mention in the original post this was a discussion restricted to cables. Problem is no one wants to read and they’d rather jump on their soapbox and opine on anything they feel like, regardless of how relevant.
Underrated/High Value Cables - Audio Envy
Overrated/Low Value Cables - Synergistic Research
Just go to usedcable.com to see how many more SR cables are listed than any other brand. Looking at IC's today they have 19 from SR, 1 from Wireworld, and 6 from Cardas. And no, SR's production isn't 10 times greater than WW or Cardas...people are always unloading them because they want something better in terms of sonics and value.
