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.

It’s sounds good or it don’t. It don’t take a thesis to say yes or no PROFESSOR.

Any potential difference in sound due to different cables may easily end up being negligible with a small change in loudness. Discussing anything about the sound perception without including the constant of how loud it is, is pointless. Maybe, instead of changing the cable, change the volume. Unfortunately, it is a cheap tweak.

@maritime51 They are great. I wish I owned one. AMG just happen too be my initials and I am keeping mine because I had them before MB-AMG :)

Yep, I am all ears to audio, possibly not as adept as most seem though.

Well gosh, if a group wants a discussion among folks who only want to discuss differences in cables they think they hear, with others of the same mind set, by all means do so and have fun. Just call it something other than "DO CABLES MAKE A DIFFERENCE...." which seems to invite dissenting opinions.
And the reason the burden of proof is not onthe sceptics is because of 150 years of Electrical Theory and Engineering not to mention the huge majority of actual unbiased blinded testing. If that stuff means nothing to you, well there really isn't a discussion to be had.
And if one CAN offer repeatable, verifiable evidence of the Highly Unlikely in signal transmission,  well, as I tell my friends who are fervent believers in ESP or ghosts, or UFO's or homeopathy, great, bring it on I would truly love to have a solid paradigm stood on it's head. I WANT to believe in magic, really I do.  
That seems to be the last of what I have to offer this thread, thanks for the many well intentioned thoughtful and funny posters of all mind sets. Shame about the other types.  Good night and joy be with you all.
