Oddly my girlfriend and I just spoke about this last week while she was painting my fingernails. Coronavirus social distancing is getting to her.
Digressing. We have this Plate Lunch equivalent purchase values. She freaked when I bought MIT biwire cables. We could have eaten takeout twice a week for a year on what I spent on them. However, when I installed them, she immediately heard the difference (good) when she walked into the room. Not even in the sweet spot. She does have a really good ear. So we spoke about it. Why? I gave her my 40 years in electronics reasons why it should not make a difference. But it does. She came up with this ordering take out analogy. I order shrimp scampi and she orders a caesar salad. The restaurant puts them both into ONE container (one cable). DoorDash delivers, she will have scampi on her salad and I'm going to have caesar dressing on my scampi. That would not happen if they are placed into two different containers. And the longer the trip, the greater the contamination.
That's a blonde non audiophile thought. And I now have red fingernails.
