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?

@allenf1963 love that tune. I grew up in Canada - it got played a lot back in the day. |
The debate over whether different cables can make an audible difference in audio or video systems is a long-standing and contentious one. It's understandable that you've encountered passionate arguments on both sides of this issue. Let's break down some key points to consider in this ongoing discussion:
In conclusion, the debate over whether cables make an audible difference can be complex. It's important to approach the topic with an open mind and consider the scientific evidence, personal preferences, and budget constraints. Ultimately, if you believe you hear an improvement with a particular cable, and it enhances your listening or viewing experience, it may be worth it for you, even if others remain skeptical. The key is to strike a balance between personal satisfaction and the objective performance of your equipment. |
