Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables

To appreciate good sound I need to have a degree in electrical engineering? So if I tell you a USDA Prime ribeye steak tastes better to me than a USDA Choice roundeye, both cooked on the same grill by the same chef to the same medium rare internal temperature, you will tell me I’m full of 💩 because I’m not a butcher?

And if I tell you that a BMW drives better than a Prius, that’s impossible because I’m not a mechanic?

@devinplombier you sir, along with others like you, exist in some sort of alternate reality where a group of you had convinced yourselves that everything is the same. Yeah my ears don’t work because how can they? How can an outlet make a difference? It’s only contacts, contact area, different conductors and plating, etc. and none of this matters it just can’t!

See this is the beauty of having a difference of opinion. Mine based on experience (yes even with $500 outlets and I actually prefer the $80 one that sounds more natural to me…confirmation bias be damned) and yours based on assumptions. 

That’s ok though. There are different ways to start a conversation.

It’s not the first conversation on the topic of cables. There are more of them here than California has raisins. This is just another thread that was started by some attention deprived individual with ill intent to bait and disrespect. 

My apologies to my fellow forum members for the way it was conveyed. That aside, I appreciate the sincerity for those who assisted. 

What is interesting is that (to my knowledge at least) none of you audiophile-outlets aficionados has stepped up to the plate and wired a homerun from listening room to electrical panel out of 10AWG Furutech all-silver cable.

But wait! Even if one spent thousands on an Audiophile electrical panel, that panel is still wired to horrid aluminum service entrance cables! And what goes on in the street beyond that, forget about it!

So, going one step further, what y'all seem to need is the aforementioned silver cable in-wall wiring leading not to the grid, but to a dedicated Teslawall charged by solar panels.

One step further? Have your gear modded to accept DC straight from the wall, eliminating any unnecessary DC to AC to DC conversion.

Want really clean power that can actually make a difference, unlike a measly $500 outlet on its own lonesome? Do the work, guys.

@devinplombier  most of the audiophiles I know have dedicated circuits, so why would there be any wire nuts? You seem to think any audiophile that spends more money than you would on cables and tweaks doesn't know anything about the equipment, which isn't necessarily true. 

So it’s a pretty simple concept really. Most seasoned audiophiles I know, and a lot of them are here on audiogon, in addition to their love for music and good sound are also avid gearheads. I like to know what’s in the box. I like reading about different design philosophies and even more importantly I like to hear it all. Try it in my system. 

At some point your system and room begin to gel and while differences between some components or cables are not earth shattering they’re pivotal in achieving the ultimate sound quality where the components and cables just get out of the way and you stop using music to evaluate equipment and start enjoying it. it’s actually a great feeling. Not an easy goal to accomplish in this hobby.
 

Keep in mind human brain is pretty complex and it just doesn’t interpret the information the same way oscilloscope or any other type of instrument does. If it was that simple we wouldn’t have Stradivarius and Guarneri, or Gibson and Fender, or Steinway and Bosendorfer.
