The Physics of Electricity

About 20(?) years ago while purchasing a power amp, the dealer compared a few cables for me and my friend, not telling us the brands or price. We both agreed that one cable clearly sounded better. Turned out to be a Van den Hul.
Neither of us were/are audio experts, but we both greatly preferred the same cable with this amp.
My only point is, cables do sound different for whatever reason. Not sure price has much to do with it.

I'm like Nonoise. I pay what I believe gives me the most bang for my buck. Rok2id is fortunate where he can't hear a difference, so he doesn't need to spend money in that area. Same goes for having a boom-box or separates. You pay whatever amount necessary for what quality you want to hear.

Almarg, I know you have answered these same type questions with the same answer many times. Keep it up! Maybe cut and paste. Although no one seems to be paying attention it makes the most sense to me.

Thanks,
Danny

I don't think the OP of this thread is necessarily a troll. They did buy cables, and may be looking for something as to what they should hear, and why. Understanding it isn't easy unless you understand some electronic technology. The science and theory is complicated for most.

Llanger, I'm afraid this is not the right website for this question. You'll just have to leg it to your nearest physics department if you want an answer.

Here, there are too many people making real money selling these cables. You know how people get when you mess with their meal ticket.

I've even managed to receive lectures on quantum mechanics here, even as the "lecturers" admitted that it was not their field.

I don't know a single physicist that spends money on magic cables. There must be some somewhere...

The astonishing thing is that if cables made the difference claimed by the $1000 magic wire crowd, it makes you wonder what they are doing wasting their time with audio, they should be rewiring hospitals and nuclear power plants, it seems.
