Affordable cables


We all know and can't dispute that SR and other uber expensive cables can do magic with your systems however most of us aspiring audiophiles simply can't afford them. So I would like to hear from some of our colleagues who worked their way up the cable chain what if any cables priced at $100.00 or less made or make the most difference to a system. Interconnects specifically.  Thanks

In this thread alone there are many who claim to have superior hearing if not directly in this thread than others. It is a very common rephrain and insult. You have been here a while so I can't see your post as anything but disingenuous.
Audiozenology, why should you take offense if some have better hearing. Do you take offense at people who have better sight? Sounds like you have an ego problem. Hopefully not.  :(

Of course you provide no example. Your "golden ear" is just a strawman argument.

That takes moore skills. I am a golden ear but not so much without my system.


Right. So here's what happens, or at least can happen, or at least is what I have actually seen happen. Person starts out not even able to hear something as obvious as the difference between a budget and really good CD player


If true this would actually be an achievement. One of the most experienced cable DIYers here, Erik, sometimes manages to build a pair that are only off by about 2 dB R to L. Yeah. DIY is that good. I guarantee it.


Short of a poorly made turntable cable no cable, cheap, diy or other mismatches this much side to side or cable to cable anywhere the audio band. This appears to be a made up or misquoted number.  Why do people post such obviously erroneous hyperbole?
