I actually think you are in the majority while my view puts me in the minority. I don’t have a particular “what I want to hear” in mind other than to say that I just want my equipment to get the heck out of the way of the music. I have many audiophile friends select cables that help to flavor the music to their liking. I don’t want cables to do that for me - I want them to vanish as best as they can. The Alpha interconnect did that better than any other cable that I’ve tried. Same for the Sigma USB.
