No thank you. For some reason, I don't see the wisdom in spending $400 or more
on a comparator and investing hundreds of hours on "tests" to rationalize buying
$20 cables instead of $60 cables. YMMV of course.

OK, who's talking about:

a) investing ANY money in a comparator
b) taking hundreds of hours, or
c) buying cables

Get a grip, George - this is about cables, not buying cables.

applying for a job? I know several headhunters. Only thing is, junior
