I'm not sure why you are having a problem with my statement. Yes, the typical objectivist claim is that cables are cables. That claim is usually followed by something like: "And if the cable really does sound different it must contain some sort of filter or be acting as some sort of filter that is altering the signal (not adding anything but removing something). That's a bad thing. I don't want cables to color my sound I want them to transmit the signal unaffected so I can hear just what those who engineered/mastered the music heard." I have met many an objectivist who believes that good, quality, well built cables should all sound the same and anything that doesn't is not transmitting the signal unhampered. So, they will sometimes admit that all cables don't sound the same, they just don't accept that the ones that do sound different are anything other than glorified tone controls/filters that are "less" accuarate and, in fact, subtractive. -- SatoriGFX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SatoriGFX's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8852 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38738 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
