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?

@ernstmach - I can’t speak to the provenance of their statements. That said, I think you also need to take into consideration that your colleague nor you have heard the cables over a time period. Are you really in a  position to say/conclude that what they stated doesn’t occur?  If you are skeptical maybe find a retailer that offers a trial period and listen and evaluate for yourself. Personally, I don’t get caught up in all of the "science" I’m more interested in the result of what I hear. BTW I have (Tchernov) or have had (e.g. Silnote) interconnect cables from manufacturers that have directional arrows and just connect accordingly could care less about the why.

Your BRAIN has re-mapped to convince you it is better. Our brain lies. Always.

I am beginning to think there is indeed one remapped brain here. And it lies. Always.

Facten,

appreciate what you are saying. " I realize the science end has fewer proponents.

"Are you really in a position to say/conclude that what they stated doesn’t occur?"

Not saying it doesn't happen. I do know that my work with pulling deep vacuum says anything will out gas just cannot say it means anything hence the ongoing questionnaire. As far as contaminates in 4-9s pure wire I find it hard to believe that contaminant size has enough mass to be of consequence.

I'm far more inclined to believe the words of someone that has the credentials earned towards this subject. 

Has anyone considered that the wire might sound even more different due to cold working ot the wire? 

Thanks for the responses!

@tonywinga my system actually sounds better in a carpeted room. I have hard woods. I will be at lone star audio fest in Dallas with my system minus the subs in June
