Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?


Audioholics will be doing another video on this at 4pm (I assume Eastern), today. Rather than comment on it after the fact, some here might want to jump into the live comments thread? Anyway, in case that’s you, here’s the link:https://youtu.be/kR12Ttuxobs

Everything makes a difference. It’s just a matter of how much and if it matters or not. Some things matter way way less than others. Speaker wires fall into that category IMHO compared to all the other usual suspects for delivering good sound.

That’s the good news. The bad news is making things BETTER not just somehow different is actually a much tougher nail to hammer. Then there is that diminishing returns thing.....that’s where it really gets hairy.

Splitting hairs can be fun! Plus it never ends! Double bonus! Have at it! It’s just a matter of time and perhaps money you feel is worthwhile  to invest.
The problem (other than the money), is that all cables sound different in different systems.   Get a boatload of different ones and try them yourself.
I used to not believe in speaker cables making a difference and now I’m not so sure. I was hanging out at Audio Connection on Saturday listening to tunes. Someone swapped out I believe Audioquest Rocket (?) for Robin Hood series cables and the difference was not subtle. So I’m beginning to rethink my stance on the subject.

Audioholics will be doing another video ...
Doesn't Audioholics have its own website?
I think those guys do great videos. Not alway what I am interested in but I like watching their stuff.
