Christ. Why bother?

Do remember we aren't talking about Joe Public doing this - just those with
a special vested interest in demonstrating cable sound. This should not be
a chore for such people.

The customary meaning of "vested interest" is someone who is involved in a
commercial enterprise related to cable. Or possibly somebody who's
thinking of marketing a cable he designed. According to you, you're
neither of those. So what's your "vested interest"?


I do resist science being harnessed to the yoke of ideology. But my background
may be different from yours.

What ideology did you have in mind?

Yours:

You then publish the results in Stereophile (because that is the august
journal you work for), and apologise for all the bull**** you printed in
the past.

Why don't you devote your efforts to a real charity that benefits people with
real problems?

You think audiophiles aren't people with real problems?

As a group, of course not. At least not nearly as bad problems as the
'borgs suffer.
