WHY CABLES MATTER!


I have seen the argument over and over again on why cables matter and the that wire is just wire and how scientifically it’s impossible for them to make a difference. The thing that surprises me the most is that different materials are used. Different shielding is used. Different connectors are used. Different braiding methods of the cables are used. Materials are sourced from different manufacturers and put through different creative processes but I always get some guy who comes on and says. WIRE IS WIRE AND YOU ARE NOT HEARING WHAT YOU ARE HEARING? To me it’s pure arrogance to think you know more than everybody else to the point where you tell me what we are hearing through my ears and we are not smart enough to know when are minds are playing trick on us. But using all these different materials, process and shielding and creative processes don’t make a difference. I spent the last 15 years trying all the cables I could try.  Thoughts anyone?

There will always be naysayers- most unwilling to try themselves or thinking they’re experience is truth for all dispute the fact that we each have different;

  • hearing ability 
  • audio chains
  • clarity and transparency 
  • room conditions 
  • noise floors
  • electrical noise 
  • …etc

Best to not let it bother you or get sucked in by trolls 

 

@kennyc yes all of that part. The design of my current system has black backgrounds and cuts out all noise so the right cables truly matter in my system as well as others based on what you have. 

@kennyc you hit the nail on the head.  Great answer totally agree. You hit the major factors. 

The one argument I see is either build poorly so sounds bad or build better so sounds normal

the only time I think to me cables make difference is when is has filters at that point it’s no more cable it becomes equipment 

there’s no way all this audiophiles are spending 4-5-6 figures and don’t hear differences either good or bad is different subject 

the main question to ask is does it worth it? NO😂😂😂
