So bad audio is like "The Room" and good audio is like "The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind"?

May the schwartz be with you...

P.S. Mel Brooks for the win!

The Audioholics video is better, but still problematic. The tag at the end "if a cable measures well, it will be indistinguishable from any other well measuring cable" is only a very small step away from all well measuring DACs sound the same.

God forbid!

Another video, this time from tek syndicate. I feel they are very honest but "cables are placebo, don't buy them"? (13m:37sec)...

I generally like those guys, but their knowledge of audio extends little beyond the folks at Tom's Hardware. Their "understanding" of headphone output impedance is shocking. They also have a deal with Mayflower, and have bought into the O2/ODAC line of thinking hook, line, and sinker.

6nuns have too virgin a set of ears to fully grasp the grit of coconut audio cables.
