DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

Q: Do cables really matter?

A: Yes.

Q: Are they worth the cost:

A: Rarely.

I’ve had enough experience with cables to note some differences between brands and construction. Can I justify more than $100 for any pair? No. I can’t.

Honestly if you obsess over thousands of dollars of cables you need to go build your own speaker pair. You’ll learn a lot, and have a much better way to tweak the performance of the finished sound than cable auditioning.

If you want really IC good cables at an affordable price, you can’t do better than buidling using solid silver interconnect wire from Parts Connexion. Use Cardas solder, and high end connectors and you’ll be ahead of the game by several thousand dollars.

Given that most solid silver IC's run $300 a pair at least, you can make them for a steal. 

Best,

@glupson. True you are right.  It was a question. I guess if you have bad hearing the answer is no. Lol. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I love my cables in my system in the end that’s all that matters. 

I feel so much better now that I know that what I know for myself is valid.

Hmmmm, now when you asked....

That tractate above was a response to a few posts that dealt with "skilled listener" theory/practice. It somehow evolved. I apologize.

A tractate ? You needlessly flatter yourself and are in danger of destroying your shoulder. Showed your "tractate " to my partner, who incidentally did her graduate work in respirology, and she laughed, and said " that is just  gobbledygook piled high and wide" ( and funny but I looked up gobbledygook and the description is quite apt, like it fits good eh, real good ), so hardly a tracture it seems. She also suggested I ask you for a plain english explanation of your point which is apparently well hidden in a high and wide pile of gobbledygook. Then she laughed out loud and left to tend her garden.
