DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?


Yes they do.  I’m not here to advocate for any particular brand but I’ve heard a lot and they do matter. High Fidelity reveal cables, Kubala Sosna Elation and Clarity Cable Natural. I’m having a listening session where all of them is doing a great job. I’ve had cables that were cheaper in my system but a nicely priced cable that matches your system is a must.  I’m not here to argue what I’m not hearing because I have a pretty good ear.  I’m enjoying these three brands today and each is presenting the music differently but very nicely. Those who say cables don’t matter. Get your ears checked.  I have a system that’s worth about 30 to 35k retail.  Now all of these brands are above 1k and up but they really are performing! What are your thoughts.

Session guitarist here, have played on numerous chart topping singles. Quality cables matter, expensive ones don’t.  Whether it’s a live rig or in the studio, the average 12 ft XLR cable cost is ~$65. I have a seriously good laugh at the folks spending insane amounts of cash on cables.

Anybody laughing about the cables great for you.  If you hear a difference with expensive cables and you can afford it then do it. If it sounds good to your ear they are worth every penny. Went to a show a little over a year ago and switched the cables out after the first day showing. It was night and day. The expensive mix won out
