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.

Here's a couple of articles from Roger Skoff that can either add or detract, depending on one's inclinations:

I think he's forgotten more about cables than most here have learned.

All the best,

Just to mention Roger Skoff was one of the dudes at XLO who produced the XLO cables, also a producer of the oft mentioned XLO Test CD, an icon of speaker placement methodology and other necessary tools.

Corrected second link:

(The "http://" should not have been there, and the "https" should have had a colon after it).
