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.

Laws were meant to be broken. Look at poor Newton. 😛

I think I may have commented on this before.  I really do hear a difference in phono interconnects.  I have a medium priced set  of Verastar Silver Stream phono interconnects and can definitely hear a difference between them and say a generic brand by MCM electronics.  I use xlr cables every where else.  They go under my floor, over the river and through the woods.  Question:  I have many feet of xlr cables between my preamps and power amps.  If I switch to a higher quality, do you think I will hear a difference?  Subjective question I know. I am using a set of Transparent MusicLink Supers, but have a simple extension, to increase their length.  I’ve read that when using balanced cables, quality doesn’t come into play that much.  What say you?
