The reviews on the cables in question (Blue Jeans Cable) are wild. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RYLMXICLLSJWC?ASI...

"Music was much more open with plenty of air around the instruments. Imaging was superb - greatly improved over previous cables that I used. The depth was substantially improved with great instrumental recognition from front to rear. In other words, the speakers managed to disappear and only the performances were remaining."

"I had for the first time, heard tones and instruments that were previously hidden with other cables. Music sounded more alive - had more presence. Brass instruments now had a bite (yet with a rich, non-strident tone) that sounded as if you were there."

"The bass tones improved dramatically, taking on a fuller (tighter with less bloat) than I had remembered with previous cables"

I'd love to see how these people do with a double blind setup.

Say what you want about audiophiles, one of their skills is definitely written expression (at least for a non native).

Welcome to the world of audiophiles.

This kind of hyperbole for the magical powers bestowed by even the smallest (or most dubious) accessories is a source of unending amusement for me, if it wasn't so foolish.

My favorite quote:

Music lovers buy hifi systems to listen to their music.

Audiophiles buy music to listen to their hifi systems.

Do you mean to imply that my quantum rocks (also useful for reiki) are pseudoscience?

to be fair, monster cables do beat coat hangers these days

(the only coat hangers i've seen lately are plastic or wood)
