Brian, Ignore my last reply.
Hayes, Just kidding! (sort of)
Winterlight, All my life I've waited for an objective proof of this. Not
sure your friend is correct, but, at this time we live in, I will accept
his non-scientific opinion. Audio business is seriously "back-yard."
We are now all a very "video-centric" bunch of tweaks, I believe.
Best,
Duncan

A good friend of mine is a EE who works for Micron. He is responsible for
final testing, and certification of all new memory. He is a big time
audiophile, and likes improvisional jazz. In fact, he has had a lot of
success with a side business designing and making high end headphone amps,
and last I heard Apple certified his products to be ipod worthy.
I once asked him about the importance of cabling. He told me that when he
was a grad student he decided to build a tester to check different audio
wiring in order to come up with the best one. He discovered that not only
was there very little difference, if any, between brands, but Walmart
brand performed the best for his tester!

Now, if you are talking about having the proper gauge of wire for
certain applications (ie high amperage) or having good, well-made
connectors, then yeah there is a difference. But your oxygen-infused
triple-platinum connectors? I've got a bridge to sell you.
