Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?

Thanks. I see that the answer to my question about whether better equipment would make your system sound better is "yes."

Thanks. I see that the answer to my question about whether better equipment would make your system sound better is "yes."

Any better piece of gear will do better.... And they are plenty of pieces better than mine...

For example for my dac the Denafrips very high end will do....
For my Sansui AU 7700 the Berning ZOTL would be a bargain upgrade in ratio S.Q. /price...

For my speakers it is more difficult to pick one, but i will pick a Tannoy piece like i already own....I dont want to risk a frustration because my Mission Cyrus 781 are very good already...But a high end Tannoy will beat them with a more refine British sound...

But if i add all the cost of these upgrades around 12,000 bucks perhaps 15,000, the comparison with what i have already and what the upgrading effect will do, it is way too much money for the differences...A great difference is not a huge one.... I know what a huge difference is with my own gear BEFORE and AFTER my embeddings controls, especially the acoustical one... Acoustic is a HUGE factor....Exceeding any upgrade....This is the reason why boasting about ANY piece of gear is "naive" in audio....The gear are generally not the solution, the embeddings controls are....




I already have a piano or an orchestra filling my room.... Would i pay for an improvement which will be a real one, but not so much over what i already enjoy? NO.....

The important part of my answer is not this evidence that any well designed piece of gear could be better than mine but the fact that my embeddings controls give already to me a MINIMAL experience of the high end but also a very real flavor of the high end, this at peanuts cost........

I apologize for my lenghtly reply....I know that you dont like that.... 😊

I wish you the best there is and will be....

I think it matters and again it will depend on the equipment you are connecting.

Higher quality gear will benefit more with a higher quality speaker cable or inter connect. If you are at the lower end of the spectrum then use a lower end cable/wire.

I have a modest system with all Simaudio components and Sonus faber Olympica Nova III and use Transparent Audio Wave cables and it sounds great.

Use what you like and spend what you like. If you are happy then good for you.

I think different cables will give you different sound, not necessarily a better or worse sound  I've had cables deep in the stage but, compress the width about cables open up the width but the stage becomes very shallow. Cables can only do as much as your components are capable of really. However, I've never spent more than $500 on a speaker cable, and I wouldn't. So I have no idea what those four figure even five figure cables might do to your system.


I went from acoustic Zen to Canare 4s11, twelve gauge wire as I set up my system differently and had to get long runs for the speaker cable. Obviously I couldn't afford 20-ft lengths of Acoustic Zen, but I really can't tell a difference with the Canare. That could be confirmation bias that could just be lack of sonic memory.


And yes I picked up on the irony of the electrons. Personally I know exactly where every electron is on the cable at any time.
