A New Believer


I have listened to many systems over the years, and have never appreciated the difference speaker cables can make to a sound. In fact, I was so skeptical of the sound changes they can make that I have always not bothered with any special type of cables, generally going for generic (and dare I say it) roughly made ANY copper wire plugged in to amp and speaker. Well, imagine my surprise when I decided to do a blind test and listen to what difference cabling can make. Wow, my Vand 3A Sig's had been getting strangled! (some of you guys may want to strangle me if I told you what connects I had been using). So I am now a firm believer, cables DO make a difference.

"It is true, I used to be a hard core skeptic until the moment it was proven to my satisfaction it wasn't the plecebo effect."

well I guess that settles that.
Well Rok2id, I didn't expect you to concede so quickly, come on, state your case.

Great points Chicagojtw this is important to ensure that you aren't being fooled by any number of factors that can make you believe you're hearing something that in reality you aren't. This is going to be an interesting thread.
if you take a speaker cable that cost thousands and replace one side with a walmart 12 gauge wire and then measure the signal from each side at the end that attaches to the speaker will the signals be the same?
