Why Do Cables Matter?

@donavabdear 

Thanks for your response to my post.

The time code to digital sound synching is a digression, but an interesting one!

It's not strictly correct to say that the analogue waveform of a recordings at different sample rates will be the same. If the recording has sufficiently high frequency information then that will show up in the analogue waveform converted from the higher sample rate recording.

Given the range of human hearing and the frequency range of musical instruments, some debate whether higher sample rates are needed but others will argue that frequencies above 20 Khz can be perceived even if they cannot be "heard".

But that's whole other debate.

True to a degree. I did treatments, then cables (not crazy$$$) then a few tweaks. For many there is a compromise as the room is multi purpose, cables are less obtrusive and do have benefits over the stock junk. Your statement @boxertwin12 is a bit over the top. No one is saying expensive but better built than the crap that comes from the factory. Kinda like putting a slip-on vs the  stock can on your BMW. Slight uptick in performance, fuel economy and sounds way better.

Those that swear that expensive cables make a difference but have no room treatment are the really blind ones. 

Great and dandy. Can you show us YOUR room treatments? You can post pictures of your audio gear and your listening room here, under "systems". Thanks for sharing

Pot meet kettle.

You poked the bear, perhaps it’s not your posts that are stupid, but in fact, some people are….

Cheers
