DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

Thought I'd come back to see if this thread actually got interesting. Nope, nada, bupkiss.

Agree with @ghosthouse  and @david_ten  too.

@calvinj

Elizabeth I understand all I see is. Lot of blah blah blah

I hope you won't mind answering these questions:


What exactly where you expecting when you started this thread, if it's different than how the discussion turned out?


What would count, to you, as being worthwhile, interesting discussion regarding the question "do cables really matter?"

For instance, what should a cable skeptic talk about, that you WOULD find interesting?

I wasn’t expecting it to turn into blah blah blah. I don’t do scientific testing. I’m only interested in sound. I don’t care about the science or a thesis. I don’t answer your questions cause I don’t care about them. No offense. There are different levels to audio. Sometimes you have your vintage guys. You have the lower end systems then when you hit midfi you have better equipment with transparency. Then when you hit the high end you have special equipment that most of the time performs better where you can hear more and suttle changes in sound. I have heard vintage gear all the way to,a 700k system so I have some gauging on what’s possible Audio wise. My system is modest in my eyes  but I have a great sound I’m happy with where I hear the differences in cabling. You may not. Your hearing might be off. Maybe your equipment doesn’t do what some of the others I’ve heard do. Anyway enjoy your music and your theory. 

calvinj,

So, really, you just find the actual debate to be outside your interest.  In other words, you are fundamentally incurious about the very subject you started a thread on. 


That is just really odd. 


(Of course it can also be explained by you just wanting to start a troll thread to diss people with a skeptical view rather than interact with their ideas...but I was trying to draw out something...anything...more promising than that from you.   Ah well....).

It’s not that difficult to see from calvinj’s point of view there is no debate. He made that pretty clear in his somewhat baiting OP. That’s why the OP was all caps. I’m sure calvinj thanks all those who took the bait. 🤡

By the way, there is no difference between cable skeptics and say, skeptics of the Tice Clock, Mpingo discs, Silver Rainbow Foil, the Green Pen, Schuman Frequency Generator, tiny little bowl resonators or demagnetizing CDs. The only difference is how the skeptic will decide to formulate his philosophic and scientific attack.
