Nothing unleashes an avalanche of blathering like another "cables matter" topic. "Dark with imaging to light with less imaging?" Oh yeah, that’s right...uh huh...it just goes on and on. Note that many factors seem to make a difference. Your toe spacing, whiskey consumption, hair (I still have hair on my head, preventing reflected sound from penetrating my scalp), clouds of moths disrupting the soundstage, dust on the floor, very thick patchouli oil scent, ear canal sand bars with abandoned tug boats...I did get some cables in the mail today...a pair of 6" PYST (they also have a slightly more expensive line called "snake oil") ICs from Schiit. Will they be dark or light? I’ll be sure to report back with a 4 to 6 paragraph description that will make me seem smart to others as hey, that's important.
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?
