Do you consider cables to be a "component" of your system?

@vinylmisterd

Your supposed to learn to hear the difference... Power finds its way into your house Romex whatever, ya stick a 6’ piece of cable it miraculously goes to work correcting, beautifying sound. Don't worry about what's inside your component obviously it also has the ability to to adjust and control any AC to DC, controls, wiring, etc. down stream. There’s hundreds out there no scam start testing....LOL

Twiddle dee twiddle dumb beat the audio humdrum

@vinylmisterd - re:

I always wondered why there is never a discussion of the quality of cabling/wires used “inside” the components we buy when discussing external cables/wire. Just thinkin’

There are those that go to great lengths in replacing wires inside their components, but it is more of a niche segment or for the more specialised DIY community.

• Many Tube gear owners will rewire their comonents, which is made easier if point to point wiring is employed
• Ans YES! - it does make a difference

Speakers are a popular components to rewire/rebuild and there are several threads in the forums

....obviously Mr 197GTO ( get tools out ) 455ho you have never listened to a really good system or due to alleged internal fortitude,  will not allow yourself  to actually listen and hear a difference that cabling can make on a system.  '' You can bring a horse to water  .......'' you get the idea.
