Balanced cables

@audiozen

Many folks simply want to believe cables make a difference - many because they spent a quite considerable portion of their budget on nonsense tweaks.

You will never get these same folks to ever admit they were fools or suckers as W.C. Fields put it.

Furthermore, the mark up on cables and silly fuses and silly contact goo is in the thousands and therefore an army of unscrupulous sellers and resellers will rush to attack anyone who says “the emperor has no clothes”.

Worse, if you look at the sales supporting the economic model of this website you will see a significant percentage is in nonsense tweaks - so moderators are not going to lift a finger to kill a lively business of parting fools from their money....

Nonsense tweaks are to audiofools as expensive rejuvenation creams are to the vain and superficial...

""For those that believe wire is wire, fine"...now let me see, if I take an interconnect cable and slice the side open, guess what, theres copper wire inside. Amazing!!! it must be wire!. You can pretend its the golden hairs from the scalp of Goldilocks all you want, but its just wire. You need to take off your rose colored glasses. And to ignore the post above by an expert recording engineer is disingenuous and disrespectful...your an "Audiophile" and your "opinion" is much more important then recording engineers or the broadcasting industry because you read "high end magazines" and bow down to the demi-god reviewers who are taking you for a ride...Quit being a sheep. Quit being a lemming.As W.C. Fields said.. "Theirs a sucker born every minute""  

You missed you're calling you should have become a fundamentalist preacher oh wait you already have become a preacher good luck with your faith and in attracting a flock of rapt followers..

shadorne..exactly!

Sometimes folks need to realize break-in can be used as an excuse for stuff which just does not work.

Half of break-in is people's ears getting acclimatized to the new and different--though not necessarily better--sound of a new component (and I include cables in the category of components).

The biggest load of hyperbole I ever came across years ago which I still laugh over today is how Harmonic Technologies would tout over their "cryogenic" process to their copper wire to preserve and prevent the crystal cell pattern from breaking up, preventing sonic degradation of the music signal passing through the wire. What a bundle of Barnum and Bailey snake oil. All the sheep bought into that like a moth hitting a light bulb.
