Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.

Really love the responses very telling. 

I find it interesting that we can get so emotional on the topic of cables...it's the science types poking at those who are invested in cables...and the investors getting defensive.

I side with the investors because 9 out of 10 times they are minding their own business and discussing their cables and get randomly attacked.

What would women think about us fighting over cables? ;-)  

BT uses compression. Therefore, not the same as using a cable.

The funny part of all these cable magical sounds is that the big majority of people into this are people that on average are older than 30 years of age, meaning humans as early in their thirties start losing their hearing mostly in the upper registers, getting worse as the years go by; nonetheless, we have here many people in their 40s-80s hearing better sound coming out of cables.

Of course a cable can and most definitely make a difference in the transmission of the signal, but for all these older people who hear all these magical new sounds (I wonder how since hearing loss is a fact at those ages) I would say that a lot of it has to do with a placebo effect.

@robert_1 also consider the fact that these elder statesmen of audio and audio cables have more disposable income, therefore have much nicer hi-fi systems than those 30 and under. More revealing systems not some of the internet/big box lo-fi. You know the stuff the ASR crowd buys.
