I don't think I'm the only one who is becoming frustrated at reading interesting threads, only to find a cable nay-sayer turning a healthy discussion and constructive advice about cable preferences turn into a debate on the validity of cable changes.
Based on this I have a suggestion...
Firstly, could a new forum category be set up to include cables only? Within here cable "discussion" can take place, and the nay-sayers are not welcome. If they disagree with the idea that cables make a difference then they should stay away.
Alternatively, could threads on cables be marked as such in the header, and the same rules apply? Kind of an "Only constructive comments need be submitted here" rule.
The cable nay-sayers have nothing of any validity to say, and seem to be spoiling the forum for everybody else. What they forget, when genuine people on here say they can hear a difference in their cables is that we as hi-fi people are in a minority. I bet upwards of 95% of the population of the UK think we're mad for spending what we do on hi-fi because they believe it can't sound any better than a cheap and cheerful Argos-bought mini-system. OUR EARS tell us different, and we have to trust them. Or maybe we're ALL deluding ourselves in hearing a better sound from genuine hi-fi, convinced that the improvements are there simply because we've spent thousand of pounds, rather than tens of pounds.
I for one want to see an end to peoples genuine experiences being shot down by a small number of narrow-minded individuals who it appears are to scared to put their money where their mouths are, and prove to themselves whether their views are correct.
End of rant.
