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.

Nope, not a Mickey Finn - neither the bartender nor the T.Rex drummer.....imagine trying to do a line while wearing one of those stick hats in the pictures @djones51 linked!
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on!

Your post at some level was an inane rant after all.
I dont think so....But your post is also a free attack....Take a mirror and look at you first....Your religion against cable change is not better than some cable zealot....

I dont like "cables thread arguing" because simple listening decide this matter....And you are right tough about the too much money people invest in cables, i am with you there at least.... :)

But in any resolving audio system, many cables dont sound exactly the same and many cables are way better, some worse... The debate is closed for me after that.... :)

mahgister,

I don't have a religion. Religion would imply faith without evidence. My views on cables are anything but faith without evidence, and my views on cables are consistent; past a relatively low dollar value, the gains are essentially 0 if competently designed and don't induce issues with the amplifier.

Religious people have plenty of evidences in any religions.... Read about that to be enlightened...

For me active atheists are like believers, the two look for evidences and discover plenty of them to confort their opposite and faith beliefs...

I am more a sceptic who experiment or read and think....I dont like technological or religious dogmas....

I listen to some cable for example and my ears know....No need for a superficial theory....We dont know much us humans....
More to discover
