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

Rick Shultz  Audio former High Fidelity Cables Made some really big improvements in my system. 

An upgrade to an all-CARDAS CLEAR loom took it from “good enough” (..which was already comparatively at a high level … ) to “good”….. a fine but important distinction..

"No, because that doesn’t happen if you’re already using OFC cables at the proper gauge for the length of the run. Period. Anyone who thinks otherwise is lying or willfully ignorant. Science always beats snake oil marketing. Well, it should, but you’d never know that based on some of these replies."

"Simple answer NO, need fairy dust !! "

"Nope. Minor improvements with simple-designed tube amps that naturally have poor input and output impedances and are obviously affected by cable capacitance and inductance. With properly designed gear audio recording studio type XLR is sufficient."

I had a dealer recently say to me "other than tonearm cables, all the rest is bulls***.  I did not question him on this.  

"Pretty accurate. You’ll get more improvement replacing a set of brass binding posts with copper than with replacing cheap copper cables with expensive copper cables."

     No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition.   There are simply too many variables.

     LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, crystal, fuse, interconnect, speaker cable, etc)  will make a difference, in their system and room, with their media and to their ears, without trying them for themselves.   

     Some companies offer a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, so- those that are actually interested, have absolutely nothing to lose by trying (experimenting with) such.     

     Anyone that knows anything about the sciences, realizes that something like 96% of what makes up this universe, remains a mystery.       

     For centuries; humanity’s seen, heard, felt and otherwise witnessed phenomena that none of the best minds could fathom, UNTIL they developed a science or measurement that could explain it.     

     The Naysayer Church wants you to trust their antiquated science (1800’s electrical theory) and faith-based, religious doctrine, BLINDLY (their credo: "Trust ME!"). 

     Theories have never proven or disproven anything.  It’s INVARIABLY testing and experimentation that proves or disproves theories/hypotheses.   

     IF you’re interested in the possibility of improving your system’s presentation, have a shred of confidence in your capacity for perceiving reality and trust your own senses: actually TRY whatever whets your aural appetite, or- piques the curiosity, FOR YOURSELF.         

                      The Naysayer Church HATES it, when THAT happens,

                                                          PERIOD!

The switch from AQ to synergistic IC was a huge step forward. Then came the SR active ground block… amazing detail and stage definition. Then came the powercell and powercords … the music flows it’s almost like the system is not even there… literally people will be in my home and not even realize where the music is coming from.  It just floats 

@andrewkelley thanks for sharing  the right cables give you the proper synergy. Some of our ears are more sensitive to the little nuances
