Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.

As long as our ears remain "analog" there will be the need for amplifiers to "motivate" speakers via cabling -- even it's internal.  Quality matters -- even SHORT distances.

If I'm following your logic here, my best response is that products with everything "on board" are still very limited in selection and may not offer all that a listener is looking for in the year 2024.  2034?  Maybe.

That really is a silly premise. Asking someone to validate something you are unwilling to try yourself.

FYI, I am usually in the less is better crowd ( with some caveats).

what is expensive for one is just pocket change for others.

Rich dudes are not stupid and tend to understand a thing or two about economics better than the avg hifi nerd.

Try selling Warren Buffett wire for 10k (because because...got to keep the lights on, R&D, yada yada, boo hoo, same old hifi cable sales guy sob story). Tell him "you are rich, so, why not buy it?" He might just gently waltz you out of his house.

Always try not to insult some rich dude’s intelligence with such statements. "You are rich, so why not?"....that’s gotta be about as insulting as it gets.

If I'm happy, why shouldn't you be?  And vice versa.  I have done a lot of AB comparisons with a group and we were all convinced that better (yes pricier) cables made a positive difference in the two dealer systems we listened to.  No, not blind testing, but repeated comparisons over a period of time (weeks apart) with the same results.  Were we fooling ourselves?  Maybe, but so what?  We are in this hobby to fool ourselves, no?  To convince ourselves that we are there in the room with them or they are here in the room with us. They are not.  For me (maybe not for you) cables help my system(s) achieve a degree of pleasing verisimilitude.  I agree that prices for some top of the line cables are fabulous and I seek out modestly priced wire that gives me bang for the buck.  Same goes for power conditioning and power cables, another topic that inspires debate, but not for me.  I am convinced of sonic improvements because of the results I have heard at my dealer and in my home.  Happy listening to all of you, no matter how those ineffable vibrations make it to your eardrums. 

Why is there so much concern here about what other people do?
