@wcfeil-  My first good laugh today!  THANX(I needed that, after the horrific thought of applying WD-40, to a vinyl)!

DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
"Usually good engineers would have a technical hypothesis that can be measured.If we are talking about sound engineers (not EEs or whatever) simply selecting new cables because "they sounded better to us" then that’s just the same anecdotal eviden... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
@geoffkait - Since you posted about, "pro audio" immediately after my post, regarding cables and studio use, I gathered that was to what you were referring. I couldn’t agree more, regarding compression, BUT- as far as, "all the old dudes": the fir... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
"But that is reality, audiophiling is a lot like wine tasting, the more you know you spent the better the wine tastes. So that means if you want your system to sound better, upgrade your cables and it will... I’m saying that upgrading your cables ... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
"Our ears and brain have very short term audio memory." ?? Some people must have one helluva time, recognizing who’s called them on the telephone then(sorry for your inability). A good man understands their own limitations. A wise man understands:... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
One has to assume, some pros have better aural acuity than others. That probably has even more to do with the quality of their productions, than the cables they use. But, no doubt, still has something to do with the cables they choose. Most of my ... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
@prof-  You seem to believe that studios don't believe cables matter.  Some of the better/best ones and(apparently) some of the best artists out there, do.  Otherwise, they wouldn't be spending the big bucks, having their tracks laid down, in thos... 
CDs Vs LPs
My system can reproduce EITHER, with excellent result, AS LONG AS the source material is well recorded, mastered and pressed. Of course, when new my tubed output, CDP(BAT VK-D5) was over $5K and I installed six mid-60’s, grey shield, Siemens CCa’s... 
What is as tube sounding as Conrad today?
Anything that uses valves can be warmed up, or made more, "romantic", by installing genuine, NOS, British flavored tubes(ie: Mullard, Brimar, Genelex, Ediswan).    
Spay for CD
Whatever, "field" might be measured, what’s being measured(far as strength), is the field’s energy level. If fields are comprised of, "nothing", rather than energy, E=mc2 is wrong. https://physics.info/energy/ Trying to define it, is another matte...

So- you’re measuring, "Nothing"? That clears things up. 😬  Keep digging(I love it)! 
Spay for CD
None of which explains OF WHAT magnetism is MADE, but-  "All you need to know is that demagnetizing CDs or LPs improves the sound, or interconnects." and: AMEN(no offence)!  Happy listening! 
Spay for CD
I couldn’t agree more! Regarding my last post: I just thought you may be interested, in what your favorite physicist(my assumption) had to say on the matter! You did pose the question, " Just one more thing. The web site you linked to edu Illinois... 
Spay for CD
A couple things, I just found, that may be of interest to some(SORRY again, OP): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYA0bntrjsk(comments notwithstanding) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMFPe-DwULM(I love this guy!)
