Two reasons:

1. For those who seek a more musical system, all they need do is try for themselves. All of my cable purchases have been on a 30 day trial money back offer. No improvee, no buyee. Honesty works.

2. Maybe sometime the "experience free" set will actually have opportunity to hear systems for which the differences are found to be meaningful. I am very much looking forward to hearing one particularly spectacular system in Seacliff again next weekend. I find theory in any endeavor only useful as a starting point.

Car performance (especially at the low end) is continuing to improve despite over a century of development. Performance measurements are woefully inadequate to fully describe the driving experience. Unlike here, the automotive press does not rest it's case on the essentially useless metrics or basing the performance envelope on Hyundais.
