HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?


Just asking the question. If you don’t  believe in cables. Good for you. But if you do have you ever made a cable change that opened up your system to new heights. Just interested if you have or haven’t. If you don’t believe in cables this isn’t a thread for you. What are your thoughts ?

@rpeluso - First post on this subject I have seen that I can agree with...all I will add to this discussion is that replacing an obviously bad cable (open or shorted) with one that functions as designed is all the difference I can hear. I have replaced cheap flimsy molded cables that came with a new piece with significantly better made cables and could discern no difference in the sound quality. That said the better made cables fit better, are more physically secure and look better, but sonically, no different. I can think of much better places to put 500-5000 dollars than on a set of fancy cables.

OP  Cables taken an OK sound system to a great sound?

A system's sound can be better than before but it can't never be great. Is there anyone happy with his system sound and stop upgrade/change a component? I don't think so. "Great" means a total satisfaction in audio. My system is great because I can't improve it's sound anymore and there is no other system sounds better than my system. Still I'm not happy with my system's sound. Why? What is the use of a perfect sound system if all recordings in the world sound dirty and distorted.

"Our Infigo Audio cables"

@calvinj - The wording above, your use of "we" and "us" in your posts, as well as references to loaning out cables and the "infigo cables demo program" leads me to wonder whether you have an industry affiliation with Infigo Audio?  If I missed that disclosure in this thread or in another thread, then sorry.  Also, it doesn't matter to me if you are affiliated but, if yes, that helps me understand the thread a bit better.

@mitch2 i have always let folks know that I’m affiliated with a brand but I have have been an audiophile first for the previous 15 years prior to that. I’m not here to trash any other brand or anyone else’s opinion. I want to know what people think.  I want to know what they hear when they try cables. What they think about them etc. I’m not here to sell anyone anything. I do this in my free time. I have ran a successful law firm for 22 years.  But I’m an audiophile first. I enjoy the hobby and the opinions of those in it. I been on Audiogon for the last 17 years or so. I come in and out. I do what I do to gauge what people are doing and thinking.  Even the loaner program I do requires nothing of the borrower. I just allow people to try things. Follow their own minds in their own systems. I was on the other side where people hype you up,to buy something then disappear when it doesn’t work. My affiliation allows me to not do that to anyone. It allows me to help where I can and where I can’t no cost to anyone.
