Who says cables don't make a difference?
Mitch2 I don't worry about cables but some are really emotionally attached to them. It makes them turn into rather unpleasant people :-) 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Oh give me a break speedbump6, the whole point of this thread and similar ones, READ THE TITLE, is to instigate division. It is only in threads like this, from both sides of the fence that arguments get heated. Get over yourself. You are no saint,... 
Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced?
Except with a phono input, you don't gain 6db, as it is an application specific input. It amplifies the difference between the two leads. There is no "differential" output that has 2x the signal level (6 db). 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Oh come on be honest speedbump6, some of them are joking, but many are not and are rather biting in their comment. Not to mention how many threads have just been started in the last week or two extolling the virtues of cables and meant to put down...

DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience
Big difference between accurate and personal preference. The Benchmark may be a far more accurate DAC, but that does not mean for you it is the better DAC.  If you have some ability to set absolute volume though, try to listen at exactly the same ... 
Why do most phono preamps lack XLR input even thought cartridges are naturally balanced?
As a counter to that cleeds, and not taking anything away, it is also true that because an RCA connection is used, does not mean that the input is not true differential.With great gain, comes great responsibility. But seriously, w.r.t. phono, diff... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
It’s immoral to buy cables now huh? Lol. Better start picketing the Ferrari’s, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, etc dealer’s, and we need to start doing something about those immoral multi million dollar homes too. Boats, another one we need to clean... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
You are all over the map even with the few posts you have made.  Bye bye.speaker cable companies claim they’re cables are capable of tanktop 5 posts07-10-2020 9:29am If you think otherwise you’re brain dead! How, quantum entanglement? 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
If you lose the childish and ignorant attitude, I would consider explaining it to you, but I doubt both that you have the relevant knowledge to understand, or that you will accept the answer given the childish, and technically ignorant first post.... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
No, they don't try to convince them of it. They just state is as a fact ... while never putting their own ears/brain to critical evaluation.I don’t see those people trying so hard to convince the ones who can’t hear any differences that their hea... 
Where to take system from here?
@mwWhat do you mean by "sound deadner/diffusion embedded in all the walls and ceiling". I understand the deadener inside the walls, but not understanding the diffusion. Do you mean inside the walls as well, or something applied to the wall surface? 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
Yes.If you think otherwise, you don't understand what would be measured. An oscilloscope is also just one tool.

It appears @andy2 has forfeited the challenge @djones51, that means you win the challenge by default. Well played sir! 
Which USB Re Clocker
@in_shore, perhaps one day it will dawn on you that you are doing nothing but regurgitating what others have said, while clearly not even understand what I have said. I have seen many so-called "smart dudes" spout absolute nonsense in the guise of...
