So is there no middle ground between yea and naysayers?

[okiemax]

I think the cable discussion on this forum is driven more by peoples egos than anything else. Knowing that you wasted hundreds of dollars on a piece of audio equipment that is a fluke is a hard pill to swallow. Anyone that owns high end cables should try using 12 AWG zip cords. They can only here no difference or an improvement according to the laws of physics. Then again some people think with their emotions and some think with reason.

I started off as a Yeasayer, but turned into a naysayer through experiance and honesty.

Can you say MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ?

Do you buy "new" without a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ?

If so, STOP doing that, and you may not have to defend any more purchasing mistakes to protect your ego. A 30-day guarantee should give you enough time to decide on the wisdom of your purchase.
