Why? I haven’t a clue. If everyone was this honest then we would not even be seeing this thread. I just do not understand it when someone who thinks they understand the science involved in a particular aspect of audio that they have learned so far feels the need to tell someone else that they cannot possibly be hearing something in their system that they do hear. Or worse, just makes it into a joke. I am experimenting with ethernet cables between my server and endpoint. My system is pretty clear and my hearing is still pretty good. I can tell you with absolute certainty that one cable sounded better than another, and by a wide margin. My guess is that all cables are not engineered equally. Perhaps the difference is shielding or grounding. Perhaps all perfectly engineered cables sound the same? Dunoh! But I would never come into a thread where someone was honestly asking for a cable recommendation and tell them that all ethernet cables sound the same. That is undiluted arrogance or hearing impairment. Folks. It is usually not so much what you say but how you say it.
