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.

The REV 50, 60 BiWire’s and AC2 cables are settling in....so far they are delivering a very large soundstage with great depth and image placement.  Tonality is coming in line with instruments true voicing.  Detail is achieving balance with warmth and atmosphere....more time needed.  2 weeks/24hr break in time is minimum for proper evaluation.  My gut is that they will achieve ideal balance in Another week or so....upper register tones are settling down and opening up to a more natural and organic presentation!  Easily Oracle level performance ....more atmosphere will come with increased low level dynamics and more realistic tone.  Also dealing with component vibration control which is an art in itself.  Great cables for SOTA performance at far less than some other high end cables.
