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.

You’ll pardon me for saying so, but there seems to be a very fine line between satire, sarcasm and pseudo skepticism on this thread recently. Would it be asking too much to make more liberal use of emojis to ensure everyone understands if you’re serious or sarcastic or whatever?

If anyone was hoping that we would make a  millimeters advance in this ancient debate then I'm sorry to state the obvious - no we won't. Not now, not ever as long as cables remain the fastest way to make a quick buck in audio.

You may as well ask, "Does Money Really Matter?'

@prof I enjoy a post even when I do not agree with it, especially so when that post triggers my brain to think.

In @teo_audio ’s post regarding ’sibilance’ (from another thread) and reposted a few posts above this one, I found value in what he was communicating. It made me think.

My use of the word ’laden’ (following value) concerned me and I came close to qualifying it with an added ’positive’....this likely would have helped with the interpretation.

I was sincere in my response to this (his) specific post. No sarcasm or satire or veiled (or otherwise) intent implied. : )

maritime51,

You will see such attacks quite often. In some of these threads, decency in communication has not even reached the level of an afterthought.
