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.

calvinj,

But you listening ear is your ear. No one can tell you what you don’t hear.



Uh...yes they can.

Ever had a hearing test?

Why do you think we invent instruments to detect things our senses alone can not detect?


Are you convinced all reality is entirely subjective, or something?

All reality ~IS~ subjective. Science knows this, and lives by it, even though it is rarely mentioned.

Objectivity is a subset of of subjectivity, a mental condition taken on to help frame a hopefully more useful position... or at least it helps parallax (inescapably paired with subjectivity) a position -- for placing it in framework.

Objectivity does not exist, it is a figment of imagination in a subjective reality. The only thing we know ---is that we don’t know. Paradox, just like the quantum world tells you.

Subjectivity can be proven out in logic. Objectivity cannot.

One cannot competently speak on the limits of science and complex situations that are to be explored, without being in mind of this all important inescapable fundamental.

Anything else, will, in the final analysis... end in flubbed incompetence.

Yes, I have had a hearing test. Have you? The tests I’ve been part of don’t tell me what I hear at all. Rather, I have to tell the audiologist what I hear. Without that feedback, the audiologist knows exactly nothing about what I hear.

Remember the Yanni/Laurel debate? Only you can state what you hear. Anyone else has only a 50 percent chance of guessing correctly.

This business of establishing what we hear - and don’t hear - is very tricky. Real researchers know that. Those with simple answers and absolute pronouncements don’t. That’s the only part of the matter that’s simple.
