Good tires do not matter. Flat ones do.
There have been a number of flat cables lately.

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.

Audio Cable Distortion is Not a Myth! AES E-LibraryHuh, no wonder it is about cables. As a price comparison... https://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/electronics-engineers-handbook-donald-christiansen/1000505242/26799... |
From the AES link: "However, because the loudspeaker load is typically nonlinear and causes harmonic currents to flow, finite impedance in an audio cable does indeed cause harmonic voltages to appear across the loudspeaker." ~~~~~~~~~~ The signal level cables also have finite impedance. They also cause variance in signal distortion, distortion due to the signal source and the receiving impedance both not being perfectly exact and finite under complex dynamic conditions. Which is the description of an audio signal. A signal so complex it is considered, for the most part, to be non repeating. There is only ONE cable type, both speaker and signal level types...that has a complex dynamic impedance that is varied by the signal load. Only one cable type that solves the issue where it lives. That particular cornerstone of transmission line design is also unique enough to be patentable - and is indeed patented. |
@prof : But what I haven’t actually seen from Teo is an actual cogent argument, that would show his points are directly pertinent to, or act as an actually justified critique, of anyone’s points. In other words: I've yet to see Teo do anything other than raise vague strawmen. The above post addresses your desires directly. As did the issuance of the liquid metal cables themselves provide direct extant solution..or, as they say... "Res ipsa loquitur". |
