@jeffrey125 that is so true. Look I’m not being snobby but I have all the latest gear from INFIGO AUDIO who I now work with. Amp and dac literally have no noise floor. Music comes out of blackness. When you have that kind of gear cables matter. When you have gear and speakers capable of great resolution you hear the difference
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?

Has anyone else ever heard of Vogue Audio, a small US based cable company? I use nothing else except for my USB cable's? Which unusually Vogue Audio doesn't manufacture strangely enough? I know some people are not really into solid silver cable's but I've found them very impressive which Vogue Audio manufacture nothing else. |
Agree - as one moves up in better lowered noise floors, transparency, and resolution usually associated with better “likely significantly more expensive gear” (diminishing returns) then cables can be the sonic bottleneck unless addressed. |
@kennyc that's the part where some people don’t get it. Low noise, transparency and detail matter. When you don’t have the right cables that can be a bottleneck to the music. It’s not what the cables are adding. It’s what they are not adding that’s important. |
