WHY CABLES MATTER!


I have seen the argument over and over again on why cables matter and the that wire is just wire and how scientifically it’s impossible for them to make a difference. The thing that surprises me the most is that different materials are used. Different shielding is used. Different connectors are used. Different braiding methods of the cables are used. Materials are sourced from different manufacturers and put through different creative processes but I always get some guy who comes on and says. WIRE IS WIRE AND YOU ARE NOT HEARING WHAT YOU ARE HEARING? To me it’s pure arrogance to think you know more than everybody else to the point where you tell me what we are hearing through my ears and we are not smart enough to know when are minds are playing trick on us. But using all these different materials, process and shielding and creative processes don’t make a difference. I spent the last 15 years trying all the cables I could try.  Thoughts anyone?

The bait was taken 😁🎶..  I constantly come to think about if only acoutics could spawn the same level of engagement in audiophile land. 😜.  

 

Great Weekend to all!

I believe length matters, gauge matters, and good secure terminations matter.  I don't want my cables to be frayed or the connections loose. I believe that quality in cables hits diminishing returns after a few dollars per foot. Less than that for power cords, maybe more for XLR interconnects.  If you think I'm wrong, could you please steer me to a good objective comparison test?  For example, show me some before-and-after frequency or impulse response charts.
