DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

Yes they do.  I’m not here to advocate for any particular brand but I’ve heard a lot and they do matter. High Fidelity reveal cables, Kubala Sosna Elation and Clarity Cable Natural. I’m having a listening session where all of them is doing a great job. I’ve had cables that were cheaper in my system but a nicely priced cable that matches your system is a must.  I’m not here to argue what I’m not hearing because I have a pretty good ear.  I’m enjoying these three brands today and each is presenting the music differently but very nicely. Those who say cables don’t matter. Get your ears checked.  I have a system that’s worth about 30 to 35k retail.  Now all of these brands are above 1k and up but they really are performing! What are your thoughts.

@dlcockrum ,
As much as I liked the political thread, it came to it's expected demise. I salute admin here for their tolerance and keeping things in order.

But as @prof  rightly points out, just what thread here doesn't go through the same twists and turns, only to end up an exercise in futility?

It's nice to get some kind of consensus now and again but audiophiles are no less ardent or strident when it comes to promoting their particular views on any matter. 

It's part and parcel for the game.

All the best,
Nonoise

Do cables really matter? Yes they do, and I‘m telling you I’m pretty well qualified to state that reality. So are y’all going pile on and pat me on the back for preaching the truth, or dare to be a naysayer?

Here is a simple suggestion: if you think ANYTHING makes your music more satisfying then get it if you prefer. If you think NOTHING will make your system give you more listening pleasure, then it is easy to take care of that.

I don’t understand why some of you are so concerned with what other people think. Do what you like and just enjoy YOUR music. Enjoy.

I don't want to be judgemental here,
Have anybody checked Gauge of wire Upgraded expensive cable to old cheap cable wire gauge? wire thickness makes a lot difference that proven science. Have tried thicker gauge wire before buying Costly cables?What cable can do is conduct more electrons. you can achieve by 2 ways.   A good analogy is cars can achieve same speed in highways(wide no/few traffic) OR in race track (built for speed)
Cable can change the Sound Quality is it better for Different Sounding?All copper are Oxygen free unless it is tarnished. If you open wire(old or New) sheath you see copper colour. Tarnishing means skin is oxidised. So exposed wire will oxidise( becomes ceramic so loss of conductivity) so tip contact have to be Gold plated so to avoid exposed part coming contact with.
so Single crystal is about all marketing USP will reap big Money.
