Kind off funny or not how determen people try to prove they are right and the other is wrong....
Perhaps it has something to do with ego

As for me some things seem to make sense,

People who work in Ict know that the digital packages do not change and it is and stays bittperfect digital. But they are seldom electronics experts in the analog small signal domain...
There is some Analog (AC) noise (switching noise psu, processors, emc etc) traveling along with those packages which normally is no problem for the Ict world.
But that noise can ad disturbance further upstream when converting those packages to audio (DAC, clock).
If we use that computer for music don't we tend to use better sounding asynchronous USB audio which makes the more precise and cleaner fed DAC clock the "master" clock to reduce jitter?


Good shielded powercables seem reasonable to me. In two ways it keeps magnetic fields inside and away from small signal cables, it keeps emc outside of the cable and sometimes has the same thickness as the wires on the other side off the socket. Good emc shielding is also standard procedure in sensitive industrial installations and hospitals to prevent malfunction due to emc interference.

But is it measurable?
Audible? It also depends on the situation I guess.

Thinking that the knowledge we have now is all there is is perhaps a little arrogant and limiting?
That also goes for Amir from ASR as he needs to see proof in his measurements and they don't make it visible than the difference doesn't exists. Believing we know all there is to know. He gives most things the listening test after his all important measurements which ads likely the same kind off psychological effect that they accuse the audiophile off.
He concluded by the measurements that the G68 wasn't a good receiver which for me states that he is a little deaf or the audible qualities aren't that important
