What process do you use to purchase cables?
Process???1.   Check the cable doesn't cost more than $200.2.   Read what Miller says about it.3.   Listen in my system for at least 3 weeks.4.   Ignore what Miller said.5.   If cable sounds good, buy it. 
A turntable that plays all types of music well
Hi Miller.I'll take that rant as agreement.Sarcasm is my bag.  It doesn't suit you.

Right Mr M.  A turntable just spins the disc.  It cannot have better sound quality for one musical genre over another.If Whart reports correctly on Fremer, on this occasion Fremer is incorrect.Now the cartridge - that a different kettle of fish. 
If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear
Who the *&$£ is Oswald Mills?Do they know anything about engineering?Or it just more bling?Beware.  They make speakers, amps, the whole gamut.  Experts at everything.I recommend full scientific tests (on the turntable, not on Oswald).And great...

Spindle-To-Pivot Distance
@Lewm.  If you think it sounds OK with 10mm too much overhang that's fine with me.  Just don't bother us. 
Critical listening and altered states
This is the flip-side of 'cables that measure the same but seem to sound different'.  Please see my post there.Most posters here seem to agree that perception of sound can affect the way we hear.I REST MY CASE. 
Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different
The sound that gets to the brain and is 'heard' is different to that entering the ears.  Because there is a brain in between.  The brain is like an AD converter.  It adds and subtracts artifacts.  Indeed it is much less compliant than an AD conver... 
Drummers! Which amps do you use for best Timing & Dynamics?
Gotta be Class A.All others are still ramping up the power after that big bass drum got thwacked. 
The "Snake Oil" Trope
So, snake oil is a fraud with a physical form.Fraud with no physical form is something else.Did I get this right guakus?The effect is the same, believers kidding themselves they are hearing stuff.With connection cables carrying signal I have heard... 
A Surreal Dream full of Audio Knowledge!
Poorest thread ever published here, and there have been some stinkers.Garbage from top to bottom.OP is reveling in his fantasy that low grade digital sources produce great sound.  No point in trying to tell him, guys, he's probably deaf. 
How can i improve the sound of Iphone 11?
