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

Now that weed is legal in NY State, it ain’t as much fun, as the late great John Hartford once said.

BUT, dollars on weed is way better spent - and much much cheaper - than $s on cable and speaker interconnects. And as an added bonus: it makes sex and Hagen Das taste so much better too.

A big thanks to @stevewharton for that wonderful post.
Speaks volumes as to those who inhabit these threads.

All the best,

@Mijostyn,  senses are not always deceiving, especially for some experienced ears. Then is the time for correction if any.
My short posts refer to wether a spc can influence sound or not only by measuring it and not the environment. Still we learn but as @maghister said do it with fun and creativity.

Is that really his chin?

My S.Q. is so good to me that any system at any cost does not give me the urge to upgrade.... Not so much the wrong way you claim it is is’n it?....

While I completely agree that the room and educating one's ears/listening is critical, this last claim of yours is where you go too far, in my opinion. You are right that many people believe that only gear matters -- or that they believe too much in gear and spending a lot of money for gear. If they don't pay attention to the whole sound environment, they are making a mistake. That is all true. But you are willing to take these very valid points to claim that "any system at any cost" doesn't give you the urge to upgrade? Are you saying something here only about your own feelings? Or are you saying that gear doesn't matter? In other words, are you claiming that if someone gave you much better gear than what you have -- and you did all your embedding and listening, etc. with it -- it would not sound better? If that is true, than I find your ears less trustworthy than if you simply admit that everything, properly integrated, makes a difference. So, what is your opinion, please? Could better gear -- for you -- make a difference?
