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.

If your system is resolving and transparent. You will hear a difference in cabling.  Maybe you like it maybe you don’t but you will hear a difference.

Define resolving and define transparent. 😬 Define you. Define hear. Define difference. 😳

Anyway I don’t care about the debates. I’m into the sound the music. The ear candy. When I can hear the texture of the horn the air of the flute and the decay coming off a cymbal. That matters to me. I don’t care how they do it. As long as they do.

Well, I guess I’ll come right out and say it. Many folks who have excellent hearing, who have resolving and transparent systems, don’t hear the difference between cables. That’s what makes this topic so interesting. You probably thought this was going to be a slam dunk, right?
