It seems the crux of the cable issue stems from the comparisons of the likes of zip lamp chord and high fidelity cable. If zip chord works why spend a lot of money on “snake oil”?!And why not just get some silver wire and RCAs and build your own ICs for $20?A friend asked me about speaker wire for his old receiver/cheap speaker workshop system. I told him to use zip chord. That if he had a system that cost thousands I would recommend expensive cables.
That it would not make much difference in his system and he would hear things fine. We obsessive audiophiles want to get the most out of our systems.
Good cables do not make a system sound better, per se. They allow one to hear the most out of components. I have spent thousands on my components carefully compiled over many years and want to reap the most out of my investments. For me, by far, the bottom line is what I subjectively hear not measurements. That is, by far, the great fun of this great hobby!
