*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters

This thread is yet another wonderful illustration of why its such a waste of time for audiophiles to talk tech. Its all well and good for engineers and designers. But with audiophiles all that happens is the same BS just different words.  

When we get good sound we love it so much we just can't help but want to know all about it. Only thing, the more we learn the more it remains a mystery. Some guy comes along with a nice story. Might as well admit, its a nice story. Probably even some of it is true. Whatever true means. As if we know even that much.  

Just you who knock it, don't pretend you're any better. When it comes to understanding what's really going on we're all pretty much shivering around the campfire in the darkness hoping the tiger's not too hungry tonight.

All I really want to know, how's it sound?

Why do some people make it out to be so hard to get good sound? It’s really not. The core knowledge base needed is really not that big and is very well documented. The rest is mostly personal preference. Good sounding gear is plentiful and need not cost a fortune. Setting it up well can be tricky but is not rocket science.

I get it. It’s a hobby!  Also folks need to sell things.   A perfect match!

Carry on.

Silversmith Fidelium are garnering some excellent reviews.
Until today I'd never heard of Townsend Isolda.

Probably even some of it is true. Whatever true means. As if we know even that much.

It will never cease to amaze me the mental gymnastics an audiophile will perform to avoid admitting that perhaps they are wrong or don’t know how something works (but someone else does).

Some of it ...which part? The premise is wrong, the conclusions wrong, simulations don’t illustrate what they are supposed to, the impedance measurement method is wrong ... It will be much harder to find something right than something wrong. And that I and many others know these things are wrong shows that yes, many know "that much".
