I’m thinking of leaving a FB group called Chifi audio reviews because daily there’s people asking the same unfounded questions about what cables sound the most transparent, or tame treble, or increase detail etc. Sometimes it’s the same thing but about DACs which I almost understand (shitty outputs can make headphones and IEMs sound thin and lean but I think that’s just a matter of bad designs). Burn in is another such culprit. Do just a couple of minutes of searching online and you’ll be presented with facts and reasoning telling you it’s bunk.
It drives me nuts, it’s like having flat earthers and scientologists everywhere in the hobby everywhere I turn. It’s slowly driving me nuts, lol.
Someone’s ass.
I even saw a thread where a commenter was telling someone that once they find the right cables, they need to experiment with “changing solder, wire direction, etc. because every single thing makes a huge difference.”
