I think you would be well served by reading Audio Science Review. These cables are pure snake oil and there is no objective scientific evidence that these exotic luxury cables sound different from a $50 cable.
Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000
I’ve had great success going with quality (and costly) mains power cables in the main system. In my experience power cords bring the most significant difference in comparison to interconnects and speaker cables. However, I have not really tried the best interconnects out there.
I currently have the Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 XLR and an Acrolink 8N-A2080III Evo XLR in the system. Both sound excellent although different in their presentation. I’m wondering if the top-of-the-line WW Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR or Acrolink Mexcel DA6300IV XLR will bring a noticeable or worthwhile improvement to the sound.
Any experiences would be appreciated.

@rtorchia +1 At last - a sane responder! I have been called deaf but IMO one piece of wire is the same as another. If it has continuity, fine! |
The naysayers that come to these forums to pester audio hobbyists have some serious insecurity issues. And the ASR guy has found a way to make a profit off of those insecurities. Think of high school where the idle underachievers would pester the scholastic achievers because they could think of nothing better to do. It was beneficial to work out and get in shape because the best defense was to avoid engagement. Mark Twain said, "Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down and beat you with experience." |
