OK, I've read that post a bunch of times, and I have to ask something: (apparently I'm a sucker for punishment...)I think you said earlier that you needed/wanted a rational way of selecting a cable, based (I thought) on something measurable?
Was that right, or were you saying that the rational method was to compare each cable by listening to it vs a bypass? "Better" is then a subjective call, but at least it's in comparison to a reference, not another cable.
I only put the "weighting model" in the previous post because I thought you were looking for an objective rating system (hence my surprise when you challenged its value).
Without it, how could you ever decide if cable A (which differs from perfection in one parameter) is objectively closer to perfect than cable B (which differs from perfection in a different parameter)?
Of course, if you're saying that it should be decided subjectively vs the bypass, then you don't need the weighting system at all.
