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.

WireWorld designer actually understands the physics and electrical properties that separates sonically great cables from the masses of mediocre cables, regardless of their pricing

iTunes Rez is 1/2 CD quality!  In other words, it sucks.  Steve Jobs?  No.  Tidal or Deezer is far better.  Cables do make a difference in a system where you can discern a difference.  Fidelity must be at a certain level to hear changes in Q.  Bottom line is explore and have fun till you hit the sweet spot where all you care about is listening to the music and NOT the gear.

For a person to state that someone else knows all the physics, or knows the physics better than everyone else, you know, the players, he ( the person making the statement) would ALSO have to know all the physics, no? Otherwise he’s just being gullible or perhaps a....you know... (whisper) shill 🤭
