Bottleneck suggests this means Naim don't know what they're doing. This implies that he believes you don't know what you're doing either since there's no way of determining which of you and Naim is right. Your argument is with Bottleneck's joke about cable mythologists rather than with me.

Kind of.
I'd say that I think Naim have some pretty whacked out ideas about what works in audio, and what's a good idea...
for example 'whacked out' - a machine for cable shaking, putting arrows on non-directional cables.
'not a very good idea' - a proprietry connection system which makes it harder to use the equipment with other brands. (why not XLR , or if slumming it RCA?) .. or at least both?
I do feel when I hear a company marketing ideas like ''cable shaking''... I look at them in another light when making other claims, no matter how sensible the other claim/marketing may be. THis is only natural I think..
For example, if I told you that putting purple dots on the ceiling improved the sound of my hifi, you might not put any sway by the next thing I might say, no matter how sensible.
I don't want to have any arguements with anybody about what they think works, I'm quite happy for everybody to have a different opinion to me. It makes life more interesting
In terms of Pete (zanash) I respect his generosity to other people on the forum, but we simply have a different take on the effect that some tweaks make. Its a small difference in life.
Besides, its sunny outside, I should be out there
