Do no harm to a signal! Does this mean.....

No.

Isnt this the reason for paying up for cables cause,its so hard to limit signal damage?

No That’s why it makes no sense! False premise.

So why post false premises? What does it add? You posted a good question about how much to spend on cables and then post this supposed "GOTCHA" as if this false premise  is the overall belief of everyone who has upgraded cables. 

No.


Ask anyone who is making that claim, to quantify the claim. It is best to step back to avoid the flailing hand waving at this point. "Trust your ears" never means "Trust your ears". It usually means, use your ears, but trust your eyes.  Almost as a rule, anyone who makes the statement, "Trust your ears", never trusts their own ears. That is why they never blind test. 


Virtually every claim made by a cable manufacturer about what their cable does is easily proven with current measurement technology. Ask yourself why they never do.

Of course this is dishonest, deceptive and untrue there are audiophiles who blind test this is just an insult, an attack, an arrogant posturing to establish dismiss, degrade, and demean the audiophile community. Blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test it is the fundamental basis, premise, and foundation of the "measurentalists" religion, faith, and fervently held belief they believe if you do not blind test you are deluded, insane, and dishonest what a load of what Americans call "hooey."

Don't just listen no no no no  blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test blind test
