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?
Here's a resource that may interest you: https://www.usedcable.com/about-us Look into their Cable Library, with regards to the rental/audition program and how you can test cables in your own system, for a mere pittance, compared to their original purchase prices. Anything spent on such a rental will be applied to purchases. At least: that's how it used to work, over the decades I dealt with them. Happy listening! |
@rodman99999 thats why I let people demo our Infigo stuff before they buy. I don’t know their system the way they do. I want them to be happy. There are so many ways to waste money in Audio. |
Not necessarily. Many cable vendors have fairly knowledgeable people manning their phone lines & e-mails*, available to guide you, based on your equipment, finances and listening habits/desires. Other than that: research what's out there and read opinions/reviews on what piques your interest. Take advantage of those that offer 30 day return policies, if you must. Use some common sense and you won't waste any money. |
