Do speaker cables really make a difference ?

Upgrading to RAMM Audio OCC copper cable made a significant difference over my AudioQuest cables.

Back in the day    ...... and we liked it.

Yes they make a difference.

But it is of less contribution the big elephant in your system for "sounding".

Most are connecting their speaker cable between a crossover and a (power) amplifier.

It has so much bigger impact that we use and have a big crossover between the amplifier and the speaker driver.

If do the crossover is before the power amplifier that is connected directly to the driver/speaker. That is "sounding" considerable better than a speaker cable swap in a passive system. Of so many reasons.

The only drawback is convenience, convenience and convenience.

Go active if you want a cheaper way for getting high end sound in the LONG run. Or keep switching out your amps, speakers (including speaker cables) in different ways rest of your life in hope to get a different result..

Make a change that counts or live with a system compromise because of convenience in my opinion and experience.

Since you're on the topic of speaker cables, does anyone have any knowledge or experience with Kubala Sosna cables? Thanks.

I'm sceptical of cable claims too.  But not such a flat-earther as to say speaker cables make no difference.  If you can hear an improvement in a bliind test then spend a bit of money on speaker cables but never nearly as much as on an active component such as speakers, amps, source.  A few $100 maybe.  Always test blind; never give in to confirmation bias.

But mains cables and fuses cannot make any difference as long as they are correctly rated.  Volts is volts, amps is amps, but cable can change the presentation of a complex musical waveform.
