Ribbon Cables vs. Standard


Who's used both, what brands, and what were your impressions?

I have a set of XLO Signature 3-5.2 cables and a set of Silversmith Audio Fidelium Speaker Cables.  I can't hear any difference between the two.  Just my ears or is it just no difference between speaker cables once you spend a few dollars?  The main seems to be the ease in running a standard cable compared to the ribbon.  Now let the tired old disscussion about cable begin.  🤣

Without requesting, also, a variety of control factors (gear, room dimensions and materials, audio tracks played, etc.) how could any opinions gathered here be of much use, besides entertainment? Yes, that's a rhetorical question.

I mentioned factors capable of affecting the overall sound. Factors which might completely overwhelm or seriously change what's contributed by whatever cable is mentioned.

Your response? Make fun of my question by comparing them to factors like the weather, etc.

That doesn’t nullify the validity of my comment but does add information about your personality.

Sheesh indeed.
