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.

A set of 4 different DC cables just arrived from Shanghai. The Canare 4S6G speaker cable with Oyaide GX16-2 to USB C connectors just went in system from the LPS to Router.

You are one sick puppy dog. 🐶 Besides, you obviously read my posts. Otherwise, your panties wouldn’t get all twisted up. Hel-loo! My advice - lay off the dope.

Prof-you are wrong in your analogy with cameras. Today’s cameras are so much better than just a couple of years ago. My iPhone camera is probably better than the 1 ansel Adams used. I had a Nikon d1 which was a $5000 camera 20 years ago and it had features than some of the newer cameras don’t have, except for 1, number of megapixels. The d1 had 3 megapixels, the new nikons have10x more megapixels. If you blow up a picture from a d1 past a 8x10, you get fuzziness and it looks like s---, blow up a 25 or more megapixels camera and you will see it as pristine. Same goes with cables, new technology has improved the sound quality and sometimes this requires paying more $$$.
