04-04-14: Schubert
If there is one thing I'm sure about in audio its that that hunk of wire that sounded terrible on one piece of gear will sing on another.
Well said Schubert, it seems as if we have reached similar viewpoints. I have played with enough cables and cords to realize that it really is all about synergy, the *magic*. I have heard cables/cords that I previously thought were dreadful, sound amazing with certain gear. I have also heard my favorites sound terrible, worse than stock even, when placed on certain equipment. There is just no understanding or predicting the rhyme or reason in this equation. The only true test is in the listening.
