The Edition 9 and HE-90 can be measured and tested. They are genuine products. There is no controversy about what they do or whether or not they measure at all. People can subjectively disagree over the sound, but there is no disagreement over what a SPL meter will show.
Cables are not like that. At all. The only "facts" are marketspeak taken from the website of the person selling them. If you disagree, then get a 'scope and a signal generator and show us.
The cost of components is only a side argument. The main argument is that these products offer no value in the first place.
