Interconnects and non-believers


For anyone who denies there are differences in cables, I have news for you.
There are vast differences.  I just switched interconnects between my CD transport (Cyrus) and DAC (Schiit Gumby), and the result was transformational.  Every possible parameter was improved: better definition, better soundstaging,  better bass, better depth etc.
I can’t understand how any audiophile with ears can deny the differences.  Is it delusion or dogma?

Frankly, it doesn't matter if it's $2,000 or $200. I was just using a number to make a point.
According to Nelson Pass, when the given wire piece is less than approx 6", it tends to have little to no noticeable effect.
In this, he was talking about internal wiring of gear.


Yes geoffkait, silly me for suggesting common sense.

For over 20 years I’ve been buying and selling equipment. Building Systems over, and over, and over. The lunacy of the high-end supported by the claims on forums like this, is what finally made me get out. I have the main system for background music and I’m totally fine with that. In the last year I’ve switched to headphones (Focal Clear), and I could not be happier. Yes, the headphone forums spit out the same rhetoric but I pay them no mind. I’ve stopped critiquing and started enjoying and I wish I did it 20 years ago. It would’ve saved me a s***ton of time, money and headache.

>>>>You’ll pardon me for saying so but that reminds me of the expression that defines insanity, doing something over and over again and getting the same results. Perhaps if you’d paid attention to the “lunatic fringe” you might have had better luck and not have been quite so frustrated. 😀 I’m a big headphone fan, myself. Naked Grados.

>>>>Interesting. Can one assume he was also talking about the wire in a fuse or was that exempt? 😀

Really? You gave up on a hobby because you didn't like some of the forums that discuss it? That seems silly to me. Who cares what other people think? Enjoy what you like!
