I'm with Sashbar. High-end audio puts photography to shame.
The shame rests with those who sell $10,000 audio connecting cables to zealots who think they hear minute "improvements" in the sound the $10,000 cables provide, as opposed to the sound they were getting from their $1,500 audio connecting cables.
The hi-fi audio market is really quite disgusting. Blind tests have shown that the average person (without trained ears) can't hear a damn thing between a coat hanger and and a $1000 cable. I guess that is one benefit of the pro side of it...a lot less of that. A good pro cable is good because it's more durable or has better shielding, not because it was blessed by the rabbi of sound quality before it left the building (for the most part, at least...).
Hell, even trained engineers who are paid to listen to minute differences in sound can barely hear a difference, if at all between many types of cables.
How many times I have heard it... please, with due respect, leave it for the guys who know what they are talking about. This is not a hi-fi forum.
