An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables

Everyone has their pet theory as to why cables, or in this case a DAC, makes a difference. Lots of theories with no concrete proof other than the empirical, "I can hear the difference." You’ll have to tell me how a DAC makes a difference when I’m using a turn table, all of the connections are analog, and no D/A stages are involved.

The only way some are going to hear a difference with speaker cables, is to remove them from your system, and bring them to a home where differences can be heard on that system.

All of the cable changes I’ve made were done at my house with my system, since auditioning a cable at a store with their equipment has zero relevance as the cables are not connected to my system. Other than an audio store I know no one with a system better than mine, so I cannot avail myself of someone else’s equipment.  In any case, the audible difference on someone else's system is a moot point since I don't listen to their system.

Not all systems have the transparency and careful set up to hear what should be obvious. I do not understand why this battle goes on.

That very well could be true. In my system, I’ve used a Denon POA1500 amplifier, a McIntosh 2105, and I now have a Balanced Audio VK6200. I’ve used a variety of pre-amps, and currently have a McIntosh MK123 AV/pre-amp.

Speakers have been Klipsch, JBL, Magneplanars, and currently are B&W 802 series.

So, my systems have been solid mid-fi, but maybe not to the level required to actually be able to present the difference in cables.

Phono stage needs stable voltages for the small-signal to phono(line) level conversion. A turntable dictates the timing of the output waveform and needs mechanical isolation ...similar to a DAC needing ultra low noise to ensure the output clock is stable.

You haven't addressed a DAC affecting sound from a turntable.  Mechanical isolation is a completely separate issue.  Stable voltages have to do with the quality of the circuitry associated with the turntable preamp - and that's not a DAC - at least in my system.

Meanwhile, back to the topic of this thread.      Given that magnet wire is available with silver plating and polymer coatings; YES, Mapleshade’s speaker cables can be considered as made from such, though they may balk at the mention.      About Litz magnet wire construction: https://mwswire.com/specialty-wire/litz-wire/      Personally; I'd avoid the Nylon.
