RE: Audiophile Snake Oil

I received that same email and as usual with something I saw as in contradiction with my own experience, I couldn't contain myself and replied pointing out to them that I let my ears be the judge. I acknowledged that cable differences are sometimes negligible, but can be major. The most salient major difference I informed them of is when I replaced the S/PDIF digital cable from my transport to my modest Micromega MyDac. I replaced a very good QED Reference with an Audioquest Coffee and it was almost like night and day. Tremendous upgrade in performance. On top of that, the fellow that purchased my QED was blown away by the difference it made in his system. Yes, there is snake oil out there, but I hate it when a know-it-all sends out misleading information and pontificates absolutist grandeurs of boobery.
