re: Studio cables- Typically; each of those cables is carrying only one voice per, be it vocal or- an instrument, with that one voice’s limited bandwidth, to the mixing console. There may be a snake in there, also. On the other hand; our interconnects are responsible for an entire ensemble of voices, plus the hall ambiance info (if live and well recorded, obviously), covering the entire audio frequency spectrum, hopefully: faithfully.
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables".
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables.
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.

Of course cables make a difference. If some people can't hear it they should be grateful to be able to put the money towards something else. All cables make a difference including digital cables. Sometimes it really is trivial,
Sometimes
dramatic. There's no need to go broke but a little upgrade can go a long way. |
georgemgraves3 posts06-30-2020 6:46pm Wire (cable) can only subtract information (not that all do) from the signal it’s conducting. Since wire is not active, only passive. That’s why I don’t pay any attention (or money) to cables. What do you use then? You know, to conduct your signal? 10 -17" Baton, maestro? How is it getting there, wireless? You say better? Ok... I’m here to learn... Regards |
mitch2, "You’re close. It’s by ESP."Surprisingly, but geoffkait is not making this one up. Many SONY Discmen, later also branded as CD Walkmen and including geoffkait's, have ESP. Like, for example, this one... https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/sony_discman_esp_sports_d_421sp.html |
