@kennyc GOLD STAR FOR KENNY C. I couldn’t agree with you more. You hit every point. Man this is the best point I’ve seen in a while. You hit every point. I agree.
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?

@kennyc if you try to,tell them that they become offended and they shouldn’t. I think I have been in a position by hard work and happenstance to hear a lot of gear and learn about cables, equipment, design and experiences with some really high level equipment. I remembered one of my earlier experiences with a veloce Ls1 battery operated pre amplifier. Because it wasn’t plugged in to a wall. It absolutely had a zero noise floor. The music came from a black background. It was airy and buttery soft but with detail. I knew then that there were levels to this . I think I have found that sound again with my current set up. Low noise equipment. Clear and quiet cabling that’s transparent and lets the music flow. My set up isn’t the only way to,get there but a way to get there. Some will get offended but there is some really good stuff out here. Some of it is just cost prohibitive for most. |
Skeptics need to read less and listen more. There is nothing out there you can read that will yield proof that different cables sound different. Just go to a hi fi store, be upfront and tell them you are not buying anything, but you are a cable skeptic and see if they will prove to you that more money spent will present a higher quality listening experience. I don't think they will decline. |
So everyone understands. I been in this 20 years 16 as an audiophile. Another 4 in the industry. I have listened to over 50 brands of cables. I was the ear for our Infigo brand. Yes cables make a difference to my ears. If they don’t to yours I’m fine with that. I’m actually ocd on cables so I know. I respect your opinion but to my ears I’m right. Never gonna convince me otherwise. I trust my ears |
