Why Do Cables Matter?

...listening is futile if you don’t know how the instrument sounded originally it’s futile if you don’t know what mic was used to record it, it’s futile if you don’t know the room and the circumstances it was recorded under.

It obviously disturbs you that so many here are listening, and also enjoying it, in open defiance of your proclamations.

I’ve done $200,000,000 dollar movies ...

So what?

Hope you can understand my poor way of communicating, I know Im not very good at it.

You’ve made yourself very clear. You’d be embarrassed if you knew how clearly you communicate.

Cable theory 101:

No cable= no sound

bad cable= bad sound

good cable= good sound

best cable= best sound

Audiophile behavior 101:

No sound= sometimes happy

Bad sound= never happy

Good sound= not unhappy

Best sound= sometimes happy

I will venture at least one guess as to the cause of your intense resistance to listening seriously to and evaluating premium audio cables, and soldering on to come up with all manner of irrelevant excuses for why it can’t make a difference. With 73 speakers at your home, even using only mid-level audiophile products from reputable makers like Kimber, Audioquest, Nordost, etc. would cost you an investment approaching that for all of your electronics combined.  Especially if you are trying to drive all speakers in a home theater system with hard wires versus wirelessly. I can understand this hesitation on your part, and your valiant attempts to convince yourself it won’t make a difference.  But trying to enlist and seek support from the entire Audiogon community in your self deception is a fools errand.  I promise.

And bro, seriously, what does Anthony Hopkins have to do with the performance of audiophile cables?
