It's useful for separating the merely gullible from true morons.

Yes, I was being foolishly optimistic.No, he's apparently taking the suckers' money.
Extraordinary cynicism. He says some weird stuff. For instance he sometimes breaks into conversations to brag that his (and his only) Walkman is superior to the equipment under discussion. Always seems more trollish than sales-y.No, he's apparently taking the suckers' money.
If you have a look at the system pictures on Audiogon, you will see that nearly everyone has fallen for the cable risers. And there’s a fellow named Schroeder there who never misses an opportunity to tout some interconnect doubling method he invented. These claims meet almost zero skepticism. When you ask for evidence, everyone treats you as if you dropped a turd in their punchbowl. Your system/ears must not be good enough. Or, “believe what you want to believe”. Well, ditto.

Incidentally, I have a strong suspicion that "Geoffkait" who appears in this and other notorious threads, is an elaborate troll. Sort of like the twitter account "Titania McGrath".
That's funny....
Yea - this is where all the fake voodoo goes out the window and the real voodoo smacks you in 'da face....
Except standard wood framing does not a ground plane make.
No, the table has a copper ground plane on it, .
I said cable lifters in your HOME don't have a ground plane. In fact my cables are always on lifters, 2X8 fir or spruce on 16" centers with an oak spacer.
Yawn....
Are cable snake oil claims even worth having yet another thread about?
It's all been said before, a bazillion times, and nothing has changed over the decades.
I mean, echo chambers are great tribal self-affirmation devices, but what is anyone doing about this "problem"?
Fair. Frankly, when someone posts praising or denigrating the sound of different cables, I just move along. But when these scam artists pour scorn and derision on contributors who claim *not* to hear a difference (sometimes that's me), I feel compelled to call them out.
I don't know if it slows them down at all. As I said, it's a compulsion. But I do think there are observers in those threads whose beliefs are not yet hardened by huge purchases, an inferiority complex, or a financial interest.
Let’s for arguments sake assume one hears a difference, what could be a cause for this observation? Is it purely psychological, or something is different, but not yet been possible to measure, or ...?
Just wondering

And there is all that psychological research that people get convinced by not just facts, but the number of people sharing an opinion. If we don't speak up against the woo, they get more and more converts simply because of "everybody seems to agree, so it must be true".
