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?

Kevin, I apologize for coming across so harsh.  I didn‘t understand your intentions.  But I still vehemently disagree with that video.  My brother talked me into buying this big Sony boombox last year.  He thinks it is the greatest.  He actually prefers the sound of that boombox over my stereo system.  But then I cooked a delicious, very expensive prime rib and he didn‘t like that either.  He told me he would have been happier with a hamburger.  Lesson learned.

I can‘t play that Sony boombox much louder than a whisper.  The sound  of it grates on me.  Hard to believe we both came from the same parents sometimes.  But funny how he kept listening to my stereo.  What hurt the most was him frying his slice of prime rib, his perfect slice because he thought it was still raw.  I couldn‘t convince him otherwise.  We all see, taste, feel and hear in different ways.  It‘s cause for rejoicing, not fighting.

i think the apology is mine to extend, I am sorry for not speaking more plainly. My use of ‘he term ‘notwithstanding’ was not in disagreement to your post, but in addition and perhaps even extension to it. I do feel too that wavetouch Alex could be more relevant at times, especially since he has something in his speaker that could be developed to a more sophisticated level without any adjustment to price point that might steer away potential buyers. And @mihorn, Alex, please do not take my comments in a bad way, as I do not mean any harm, just constructive criticism that might help your own journey.

Oh, and yes, all preferences aside, it would be great for everyone, brothers included, to better understand the relationships of specific context in order to develop a more nuanced sense of taste 😂

@kevn for about 12 years straight I tried every cable I could get my hand on. I had access through various dealers and the Cable co. I also did collections for a company that took cables on trade so I would try them too. I would research sound signature , materials used, finishes and etc. I would lisren to anything I could get my hands on. I wanted to know as much as possible. I started working with Infigo by happenstance based on that knowledge. You make great points we have different experiences, hearing capabilities , rooms, material used , construction , experience levels, equipment , etc. for anyone to think that all of those will not make a difference is just comical at best and insane at most. I respect when a guy says he can’t tell a difference. The disrespect comes when he tells me through the internet of all places that I’m not hearing a difference and if I am I’m just not smart enough to know I’m not. THE NERVE! Lol 😂 CALVINJ WITH INFIGO AUDIO! 

@kevn @smurfstain @tonywinga @audiom3 @mihorn @jayctoy @mahgister im glad we are all having this conversation.  We may not all agree.  I make my observations respectfully I have a different journey than most here. I only started working with Infigo out of belief in it not the typical business model.  I have been an audiophile for 20 years. I have been blessed to hear, try and long demo a lot of gear. I respect your opinions. I can come off a little harsh at times partially when someone calls me a shill lol 😂. Anyway I enjoy the banter. All in friendship respectfully.
