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.

Aside from a basic business approach and the well know phenomenon there is always a certain percentage that never return anything the 200 hour or however many hour break in  gives the customer time to get used to the product. I had a speaker manufacturer tell me it took a couple hundred hours break in, for me not the speakers they would be optimal when I got them since they test them all before shipping. 

mahgister,


"Which customer will not ask for his money back for a cable he dont like, after 200 hours of listening , if he was paid many hundred dollars, even thousand dollars ?"

Not exactly cables (I do not put much value on them), but I have not returned some things I did not like, regardless of cost. It would not have been worth my time, effort, energy, whatever, at that time.

You’re right, I’m one of them.

After having wasted £100s on various cables to no effect (other than damaging the RCAs on the back of my CD player and amplifier) I don’t find it funny it all.

This is now the oldest scam in audio, and buyers need to be aware.

You can have the flashiest, thickest, tightest and most unwieldy cables possible but all you really seek to gain are damaged terminals.

That's not the difference I was looking for.
Truly people invest money in cables, and they make a little difference, a little one compared to any other way to improve our system....I know it by experience... But cables can also make a negative difference also.... This is particularly true for low or mid hi-fi audio system but even for top of the game one also....

Dont pay too much, choose them right, and forget them to turn your thinking to REAL audio problems to solve...

It is not necessary if  you are deceived or frustrated to equate all cables with lamp cord either....
