Cables have a sound for better or for worse. They are not universal and may not produce the same sound in different systems. We once won an award for best of show using a cheap Adcom copper cable used as a digital cable. Not one reviewer asked about what cables we were using in that system but they all have reviewed cables.
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?

@roxy54 Interesting. As someone posted in the string about material (matter) construction and gauge, playing into conductivity and captaincy I felt it was very relative to the conversation. Sorry it did not meet your high standards and I did not know you are a moderator here. I will try and keep this in mind, what you think that is. 🤔🤨😏 The biggest issue in speaker cables, from the point of view of sound quality, is simply conductivity; the lower the resistance of the cable, the lower the contribution of the speaker cable’s resistance to the damping factor, and the flatter the frequency response will be
