the cables can be expensive, there's no charge for the expectation bias.

Here are a few points to consider: if one adheres to the theory of allocating 20% of the speaker’s cost to speaker cables, there is a higher likelihood of aligning the quality of wire used within the speaker. However, it is important to note that changing the wire inside the speaker to a higher-quality wire does not necessarily guarantee a superior sound quality. It is possible that the speaker’s voice was intentionally crafted to resonate with specific wires. |
OP made his point in a questionable way, but it's a fair point nonetheless. The problem with most armchair Audiophiles perorating endlessly in forums about the stunning aural benefits of tweaks, network gear and cryogenically treated USB cables is that they can't tell the difference between a soldering station and a train station and they've never even taken the covers off their gear. As a result, they have no idea what lurks inside. How about $4000 power cords going into $500 wall receptacles, themselves screwed onto decidedly non-Audiophile Romex held together by garbage wire nuts? Wire nuts! Talk about microphonics now. And how about $400 graphene fuses snapped into 10-cent fuse holders made of common steel? Etc Meanwhile, everyone politely agrees to ooh and aah over the emperor's new clothes, including genuine audiophiles who know better.

To appreciate good sound I need to have a degree in electrical engineering? So if I tell you a USDA Prime ribeye steak tastes better to me than a USDA Choice roundeye, both cooked on the same grill by the same chef to the same medium rare internal temperature, you will tell me I’m full of 💩 because I’m not a butcher? And if I tell you that a BMW drives better than a Prius, that’s impossible because I’m not a mechanic? @devinplombier you sir, along with others like you, exist in some sort of alternate reality where a group of you had convinced yourselves that everything is the same. Yeah my ears don’t work because how can they? How can an outlet make a difference? It’s only contacts, contact area, different conductors and plating, etc. and none of this matters it just can’t! See this is the beauty of having a difference of opinion. Mine based on experience (yes even with $500 outlets and I actually prefer the $80 one that sounds more natural to me…confirmation bias be damned) and yours based on assumptions. It’s not the first conversation on the topic of cables. There are more of them here than California has raisins. This is just another thread that was started by some attention deprived individual with ill intent to bait and disrespect.
