Pick your poison, if a proper DBT test is done most people 99% of the people wouldn’t know the difference. I just pick out a decent well made brand that is well shielded and enjoy the music/movie. What I find ironic is that people claim that it make a huge difference but have a very hard time measuring it to prove it. Obviously different metals have difference sound characteristics, copper/nickel/gold/silver could make very very slight differences... What I find completely laughable is the huge sums of money people will spend on cables/interconnects where they will spend little on a better room or for that matter a better stand or better equipment. ;) All depends on a lot of factors if one can hear the differences, or "perceive" to hear a difference.

I just purchased a WyWires Silver balanced IC and will have it this week. Will be interesting to see how it compares to my Clear Days. I will compare and report back. I would recommend staying away from shielded IC’s. Non shielded IC’s are usually more open. Geometry of a cable can cancel out RF and EMI. Clear Days and WyWires have absolutely no shield. I run Canare mic cable 50+ ft. in a live setting and get no noise. Many cables all over the stage, running parrallel with each other and no issues at all; they are also not shielded. A lot of recording studios use Canare and it’s affordable. I have tried it against my Clear Days and it’s not as good but not bad. If your system is a little bright the Canare will soften it a little. |
Morrow Audio cables are amazing! (for my system) I also use Nordost for speaker wire. Dont get me started about cables with network "boxes" on them (YUK!) Matt M You can listen for yourself! /www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV5DEdI-dqQ |
