think a better rule would be we don't discuss imaginary topics on cables.  I bet you wouldn't like that rule would you?

 

Imaginary?  I think some cables are capable of making a difference. A better way for both parties to carry on a conversation is to find out the possible causes and is there a possible alternative ways to achieve the same results.

I know for a fact some cables in some situations are capable of making a difference.  I can measure it and prove it.  But those aren't what is commonly being referenced in audiostyle cable musings. 

 

Those who know that would not even post about cables. This is about innocent audiophiles who truly perceived some difference for various reasons. I was one of them.

There is a reason Nordost sells to the military market, 

 

I have seen military specification for cables and they are pretty standard stuff. 

 

Military will always prioritize local manufacturers for security reason. 

 

If going by the same logic, all audiophiles should use https://www.cicoil.com/flat-cable USB cables. Their cables are good enough for NASA, fighter jets, military and etc etc....

OT.

 

IIRC, x company was supplying flat cables for US military vehicles where due to space requirement the flat cables were preferred over the normal ones. 

 

The surplus cables ended up as the first audiophile flat cable.

Being standard is really most of the point. Amazing how much a few milliseconds of delay can make when you are not expecting it.

 

Wait, that applies to audiophiles too...  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

My whole system depends on micro and milliseconds difference.  But no cables can do the job.

I'm guessing that you clicked on the link in STC's post which allowed CICOIL to pixel you for remarketing through the Google Display Network.

 

So far I haven't got a single Cicoil adverts. Probably, Paul got a liberal privacy setting.
