- spurgu 5y agoWith the miniscule differences combined with the subjectivity of it all it's just really hard (or practically impossible) to prove that the developer/salesman actually doesn't hear a positive improvement. Audiophiles salesmen want to believe just as much as the customers. Disclaimer: Built speakers and amplifiers in a previous life and never understood how people would fret so much about cables.
