DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

Zavfino cables

“Drawing on more than 18 years of manufacturing experience, Zavfino has developed a remarkable new technique for twisting stranded wire tightly around a central solid-core conductor. An electrical phenomenon is commonly known as the “skin effect” occurs when electrons move through any solid core conductor. Higher frequencies travel along the outside (the skin) of the conductor faster than midrange and lower echelon frequencies. This results in smeared PRaT, muddled instrumental timbres, and an unnatural sound. Zavfino’s new H-Wound™ manufacturing technique negates the skin effect.”

>>>>>That’s rarher odd. You know, since electrons don’t actually move through solid core conductors or any conductor. They are, for all practical purposes, stationary. Having said that, just going on the photos of the Graphene Gold Rush Tonearm cables, I want some.

Uh, Geoff, they do look cool but how are you going to hook them up to the walkman?

I see that my approach of choosing cables based on looks is gaining some traction.

Some signal will come from the beginning to the end, one way or another. Electrons moving along, or just rotating. Who cares, as long as it looks good. It is a cable, after all.
