That to me is a quite ridiculous argument.

Exactly as meant, then.

You are saying that someone who is ignorant in one area of life even in
knowledge considered basic and elementary by the majority means he cannot
be the world's best expert in another. I'm quite sure most people (if not
everyone) have some weak areas for all sorts of reasons *least* of all
because they are thick.

And adequately proved by your later statement that 'cables do sound
different'.

That is your opinion, you may be right. What worries me about this is
that some of you guys are so convinced that your knowledge of science is
so good that you *know* they cannot sound different so you never really
tried it. That of course reminds me of people saying the world cannot be
round otherwise it stands to reason we would all fall off on the other
side.

Of course I've tried different cables. Use lots of cables at work under
much more arduous conditions than a home Hi-Fi. If cables made a
difference then the long runs I use would make it all the more obvious.
It's not something new claiming cables sound different - it's been going
on now for over 40 years.
