I really hope no one was intending using it as guitar cable.
I am sure that Freud must have written about this phenomenon, I must look it up. Human interaction and so called group think is a fascinating subject. Every day I see examples of it here.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Regardless, I think you will find a multitude of threads on this forum where there is very vigourous debate.
I'm not sure a consensus opinion that it's not good idea to spend £1500 on a speaker cable for a guitar amp (even one made by Howard Dumble) would qualify as a good example of group think.
All of Dumble's work has generally used off-the-shelf parts, ie nothing particulary "special", so even if you believe that there is "magic" cable that improves the tone of an 80 Hz - 6 kHz signal (ie a guitar through a valve amp), it's very unlikely that Dumble would have used it.
The conclusion we must draw then is that there is little if anything special about this cable, and the price reflects the owner's view that anything made by Dumble carries an inflated price tag.
I assure you I came to my conclusions all on my little lonesome. That’s shit cable that has split in at least one place.
Made by Dumble? My arse.
If it was, then it’s a shit job.
I am happy for the group mind to disagree with me - I don’t need/seek approval or to be liked. I’d stay well clear of an Internet forum if that’s what I wanted.
Does it have the crystal lettuce option?
On balance I’d rather trust Neutriks and a piece of modern mains cable, at a total cost of about £6-£7 - both to sound good and not to fail leaving your amp with no load.

My assumption is that "this kind of thread" is one where a large number of people find fault with something which you wish to believe is true, something that requires faith more than it does evidence.
You can call it group think if you want, though I think most of those who are part of the "group" feel it's more a case of reality versus nonsense.
I personally think you're a bit of a doofus (a harmless one, but a doofus nevertheless), but that is purely my opinion based on what you post.
