Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1

There's never an end to any audio category debate, much less to audio cables. These are the kind of debates that will still be going on after the universe explodes.

"Sorry. Couldn't resist. "

..yes, you might have....omitting the 'something/nothing' issues...is just.....*tsk*

Why don’t we have 50 of us get together to audition speaker cables and take notes about what you heard.  Label them 1,2,3 etc. without names and see if people can hear a difference when hearing expensive speaker wires.  It might be funny if 30 people liked the sound produced by cheaper cable’s better.  It would also be nice to do the same with power cords.

Once everybody has $3k/meter retail to drop on a loom of ICs the debate may come to end.

My ears seem to be the most sensitive to IC changes vs power cords & speaker wire. I sold a AQ Fire cable to buy a longer one. While I had a Water between preamp & amp for a week the system was not nearly as enjoyable. Knowing this, I'd start building a system with a $3k/meter retail loom of ICs such as Fire or KS 1136. Then focus on finding components that are up to snuff of the cables.

Good gear doesn't sound so good on cheap ICs.

Part 1! So it’s not the end then 🤣
