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.

As stated in a much earlier post, blind testing proved that coat hanger wire is as good as........what?
Just curious.
News flash! Blind tests cannot prove anything. They can provide evidence... maybe. But most of the time they can’t even do that. Almost even nobody does blind tests, maybe one or two folks, who knows. So how can anyone make any claims for blind tests? There are no standards for audio blind tests. Nobody agrees how they should be performed. Too many things can go wrong with any audio test to be able to say a test with negative results proves anything.

It appears this link just repeats information repeated from another website that repeated it from a post on another audio forum. No details are offered on the test. So this is just hearsay ... at best.
Well I guess I won't go out & buy Monster1000 speakers cables now. Thanks for the tip.
