Trickle down

As far as gear is concerned, that's always been unpredictable. Since the late-00s, my strategy, if it even rises to that level, is to let my audio circle make major upgrades. I then wait for their old, but still plenty good, items. Or, since everyone started to downsize in the late-00s, the gear and racks left, but often, the cables remained. That's how we ended up with excess cabling.

Nobody has the same tastes, but when my audio circle spells out how a product performed, I can glean enough from that, if it would work for my needs. My audio circle does an honest job, of investigating such issues as noise, heat, ergonomics, aesthetics, dust, accessibility, and compatibility.

Because a Cable Cooker (plus various adapters) has taken up residence at my house, cables are shipped to me all the time. Only 10-20% gives me permission to write about his cables. So you don't see or hear about the other 80-90%. But with all of this experience, you (a) know the difference between untreated and Cooked, (b) develop your own preferences, but (c) understand that, with so many to choose from, there's got to be something for everyone, at all budget levels.
