If you are arguing that I should keep the Nordost because I may, in the future, come to like them more, then why not keep everything that I dont like, because you never know? Also, if I dont know how I will like/dislike them in the future, then how do you know that I wont dislike them more as I get older?
You say that my current path is "unwise" but I think that most people tend to follow the same path of keeping what they like and selling what they dont like. You dont find too many people who audition a speaker, dislike the sound, and buy it anyway because they may like it in the future. Which sounds more unwise?
I am not closing the door on future sonic upgrades, as you say I am; but I have found a poor dollar/sonic improvement ratio in the Nordost, ie diminishing return. This is not a value statement, eg "all Nordost is worthless," rather I am just posting my experience with these 3 cables. Since there is no "right" answer, I hope readers dont misconstrue my choice as absolute truth...this is just what I have chosen and why.
I think if you disagree and love Nordost, you could say that and why. Your mileage may vary is quite a popular phrase here and I believe that it is fitting. I didnt post my comments to berrate Nordost, rather I just wanted to put the word out on a cable that I find to be money saving and not well renowned. Some people, myself especially, love to hear of alternative ways to saving cash while not affecting, or not too adversely affecting the performance. Cash saved for me translates to more cd's to buy...you?
