Cable Snake Oil Antidote
@cj1965 I don’t understand you. James Brown said it correctly, “It is what it is”There are no answers to silly questions that have no place in mathematics and physics. As as it stands DNA seems the most likely candidate for what we think of as “li...

@bdp24 I totally get where you are coming from. Although I shake my head in awe listening to Vinnie Caliuta or Danny Carey - as these guys are insane. I prefer a more musical passionate and approachable style that fits tightly with the band and th... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
The onus of proof is on those with wild ridiculous claims. You can’t expect intelligent folks to actually waste time debunking all the wacky audio theories expounded by yourself and others here. As it stands, there are more wacky theories per day ... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
Ethernet cables make equally as much difference as other high end cables. Zilch. Nada. Of course that presupposes you have half decent components. If you have flakey finicky boutique audio then even your type of home refrigerator will make an audi... 
Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series).
If your components are lousy it might help. Otherwise your component power supplies should do an excellent job of filtering out mains and EM noise from the AC power. A power supply (if any good) is already supposed to do what you are trying to do ...

Upgrading speaker cables...
No. Your existing cables are fine. Save your money. Your speakers are excellent. 
Upgrading speaker cables...
More than 100 feet of wire in your speakers....are you going to rewire the crossover and voice coils of all your drivers too? Do you realize how ridiculous this sounds?

The drumming by the lady of Little Hurricane duo is interesting. A good example of musicality. I don’t think she has much chops but her style is refreshing.

@willemj Good link to a knowledgeable person. However you don’t need any degrees or specialized training to know that “special audio cables” are and always will be a scam.The reason cables get promoted here over real improvememts is the profit mar...

MQA and the "Pre Ring - Post Ring" Hoax
Not sure I agree with all the statements by the OP but the best type filters have long been known as linear phase - these filters preserve the phase relationship between the various frequencies in the audio signal - this is important for correct t...
