Early in this thread, there was a link to this “Audio Bacon” site, in the context of “audiophile” USB cables, and the virtues of a $1000 number being evaluated...what struck me whilst reading the article was this:

The inexpensive Supra CAT8 Ethernet cable (~$50) is a great place to start. If you can’t hear the difference there – consider yourself lucky
I would perform measurements, but it’s more efficient for me to listen, describe what I hear, and decide what I prefer. And continue on with my journey. That is the way of the Audio Bacon.


I submit that this is the defining philosophy of audiophilism, and nothing - NOTHING - will ever dislodge an adherent from the position.

This makes me feel unwell;
Some Ethernet cables have filter blocks, proprietary shielding designs, higher quality conductors, and connectors. All of these design decisions seem to shape the RFI noise that ends up in the analog section of your components. There’s no way to completely eliminate noise – but manufacturers are finding ways to mitigate it.
What a load of absolute bollocks and this knob has the audacity to say he used to be an IT installer? Clearly this fella has not heard of data transfer and error correction.

Limes. What a mistake. Kumquats are the way to go for isolation. Limes are great for Margaritas, but transfer vibration and tend to augment RF interference. I know this because I get a buzz from Margaritas.

LoL… I bet those little red discs under the limes cost $100 each and likely have magical properties. ;)
