I don't believe cables make a difference, any input?

That was my point, try to keep up.

Though many runners demonstrated the ability to cross the finish line in under 10 seconds, they were unable to do so repeatedly that day to a statistically significant degree in consecutive trials. Researchers were instead shocked to discover the times were well over 10 seconds in the majority of runs. From that they concluded the original claims of superhuman speed were proven false.

If this is an attempt to discredit, it's really feeble and demonstrates total misunderstanding of experimental design and assesment of variables and criteria.

Better to lurk and not remove all doubt....

Those apsects were nailed by AJinFLA's original example auplater? The point was his analogy served no purpose other than to make you feel good, it was worthless otherwise. As was my expansion. Irony, look it up.

...this thread is now 23 pages of subjective drivel...

decided to remove all doubt...?

Your loss

But I would meet you so far as to say that cables are not so very important when amps and speakers are working flawlessly and form a symbiotic unity...but I havent said that it cant be better with different cables

This board needs a tweak forum.
Enabl and cable threads could go in there, among other things....

I just would like to note that this thread was started eons ago and recently revived by anti-tweak people. As a result I think this board needs a "propellerhead/double blind/clothes hangers are good speaker wire" forum where tweako-baiting threads like this one can go and where smug objectivists can tear people down without it getting in the way of talk about loudspeakers.

I think it's an excellent suggestion, and have been thinking along the same lines.

Cables, power, speaker, or interconnect are all reasonable (and popular) DIY topics. Elsewhere. I believe they belong here too, of all places. It would be nice to trade "recipes" without 3 or 4 posts in between snarking up the place.

So I would agree with splitting. Cables might fit as a subforum under components; or have their own. And I'd like to see it DBT-free; perhaps a propellor-head section, with subsections: "All amps sound the same", all cables sound the same" "All caps sound the same" and "Nyah, Nyah, JC doesn't use Ty-Raps".

What? Enabl is a tweak and doesn't work? I saw someone selling Enabled drivers on the Internet already. Man I was getting my paintbrushes out!

Another well known forum has areas for tweaks and cables, but they also prohibit rational criticism and discussion of DBT methods. IMO, it's intellectually dishonest to limit the discussion in that manner and it attracts poorly supported opinions that contaminate the hobby and lead neophytes astray. GIGO.
