Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@amir_asr Maybe to you $100 is nothing but for others, it is good money they don’t want to throw out. Why do you think its not worth it? You are stuck in a loop, if it costs more than (whatever cable you happen to use) so it must be bad. No on... 
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@amir_asr  What should make you upset is folks paying orders of magnitude more, only to get a less performant audio device.  This is basically just stuff you are making up. You have 0 data to prove that all cables sound the same just like you ha...

Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
@holmz How to measure a room is a great topic for a new thread. All I would say is whatever software you use get a good calibrated mic. There is DSPeaker, miniDSP, TrueRTA, REW, and of course Audyysey, DIRAC and ARC. If this is a rabbit hole yo...
