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.

mach12,

You are a brave man. Even mentioning digital may be a step too far in some circles.
The question is too embarrassing to even ask---like asking if good tires really matter.  

^^^ Or maybe more like asking if Premium Gas really gets you better mileage or makes your car go faster?
;-)
That’s a keen observation, prof. Obviously premium gas won’t help generally if the compression ratio is average but it will help if compression ratio is high, as in high performance. Kind of like cables, high end cables are for high end systems. Average cables or what we often refer to as crap cables are for pro audio. 😛
