Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables


I was given a pair of premium quality speaker cables but they’re about 1ft short on each side and there’s no way to change it. If I added an extra 1ft of cheaper cable would it defeat the purpose?

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

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.

The word "necessarily" in

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. 

is much appreciated. Thank you.

What I do want to know is, why are none of y’all who are so convinced that clean power makes a huge difference in sound quality putting your money where your mouth is, and building a really clean power supply? Why are you instead purchasing furutech outlets and some such that are nothing but amulets that may make a difference best characterized as infinitesimal?
