Cable Snake Oil Antidote

@nonoise 

Not to be a curmudgeon, but when reading endorsements like that I do wonder if Eastside Sound paid for the cabling or was it provided for "promotional consideration"?  However I do agree, whatever the reason for their use of Nordost cable, they definitely ain't the only studio using something other than generic pro-audio cable.  

@ghosthouse - I was agreeing with you, outside of the fact, only 24 posts would put them behind the typical naysayer’s curve.

In the interest of balanced reporting, legendary Abbey Road Studio Two just upgraded their cables with Van Damme Professional Blue Series Studio Grade cables, obtainable on Amazon for $43 for 6 meters plus shipping.

Both Ocean Way Recording and Bernie Grundman Mastering have used Cardas cabling.(can’t swear to what they’re using now). Ask them, if it really matters to you! You may have heard of a few of their clients. ie: http://www.berniegrundmanmastering.com/hits.php and http://www.oceanwayrecording.com/about-awards.php Then, there’s also Chesky: http://www.chesky.com/content/about-chesky

Yes, there's always an angle to explore or ponder but it could have been word of mouth or actual experience with the product that led to using it, or any combination of events.

All the best,
