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

Why don't you all just completely eliminate cables by buying an all in one with powered speakers using Wi-Fi or BT? 

Because those two mediums you mention will never sound as good and work as reliably as a wired connection. Most, if not all here, want the best sound they can get and that means using cables.

All the best,

....the only taste I chase is my own.

I use the cables from the manufacturer of the stereo equipment. 

Man,  he really struck a nerve and some of you gave him so much power from a single question.  He was expecting the heat but man, so early in the post.  
 

No one person is built the same and everyone has their own opinion.  For me, I only care about how my systems sound in my environment.  At the end of the day, I do keep an open mindset but understand it is my choice on what I do for myself and my systems, no one else’s.  
 

I researched within my own living environment and came to the conclusion that the type of cables do in fact make a difference in my system.  Some systems are more revealing than others and believe it or not the price point of your system may be more revealing than others.  This is why even manufacturers of audio equipment select specific wires or lack specific wires in their design.  Sometimes if not most of the time it has to do with the cost to produce the item whether by hand or by machines.  The choice is yours and yours alone.

I have friends I communicate daily about audio gear and guess what, we are all have different philosophies.  That’s OK in my opinion.  One even doesn’t believe in cables and won’t do an A/B testing in his on environment because Audioholics told him so or convinced him.  He sware by them, I do not and that’s okay.  One day I recently invited them over for a listing session since they haven’t heard my recent setup and came out of it with a wow effect of what they just heard.  Needless to say, they were very impressed. One of my friends even pointed to my cable setup. (I believe he was poking fun at our other friend).  We all laughed it off and enjoyed the moment. At the end of the day, I still didn’t knock my friend for believing that cables don’t make sense.  Again, it is his choice and I respect him for it.

At the end of the day do what you feel makes your system sound good to you but if I can offer common sense here, do the testing yourself, and if you want to share, maybe reveal what you have and give an honest opinion one way or the other. This is supposed to be a forum to help others, not bash one another because of strong opinions.
