DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

Yes they do.  I’m not here to advocate for any particular brand but I’ve heard a lot and they do matter. High Fidelity reveal cables, Kubala Sosna Elation and Clarity Cable Natural. I’m having a listening session where all of them is doing a great job. I’ve had cables that were cheaper in my system but a nicely priced cable that matches your system is a must.  I’m not here to argue what I’m not hearing because I have a pretty good ear.  I’m enjoying these three brands today and each is presenting the music differently but very nicely. Those who say cables don’t matter. Get your ears checked.  I have a system that’s worth about 30 to 35k retail.  Now all of these brands are above 1k and up but they really are performing! What are your thoughts.

This thread is just another case of deja vu, all over again. 
Everyone back to your corners and come out swinging at the sound of the bell.

Now, the bell will sound different depending on the cables you use...

All the best,

@nonoise,

Completely agree that cable threads are pointless (nothing ever gets resolved), but I will take 1000 of them vs one political thread...

Postscript: Just noticed that the political thread has mercifully been removed. I had nothing to do with it, but wish I did. :)

dlcockrum,

It’s a forum comprised of people with different taste and viewpoints.What ever gets "resolved" here? Nothing that I can see. In fact, what is supposed to be resolved? You don’t see everyone agreeing on speakers, or speaker design, or amps/amp design, record cleaning, etc.

This thread is nothing different from the norm for most threads, whether it's a discussion about an audio brand, or some aspect of audio philosophy or any part of the hobby: people express their options on a subject, their reason why they hold them. Some other people agree, others don’t.

...and then there are always those that live to pontificate...
