Cables more hype than value?


What are the opinions out there?

MrT.,
In case you missed it, the last three posts were an epilogue of sorts, done in jest.

Any plainer and it would have stated:

For me simple, well constructed solid core copper cables sound best. No special pureness or anything. Just plain old Teflon coated, solid core copper in various gauges all bundled into a very thick and stiff cable.

To my ears and likes, they sound better then all high dollar silver cables I have tried. Again...for me. Another may need to spend big money for those pure silver cables as they sound best to them. It's all good and listen on!

Could you elaborate on the aspect of "various gauges all bundled into a very thick and stiff cable"?

To my ears simply constructed solid core cables quite obviously is the way to go as well. There's something about their (lack of) sonic imprinting that is both distinctly "right" and that carries a particular marker(not to be confused with 'character;' on the contrary, as I hear it) that goes across their various incarnations.

Previously I used Mundorf's teflon insulated 1.5mm solid core Silver/gold wires as stand-alone speaker cables, but for some time now I've run them in (single wire) parallel with Mundorf CFC14 copper foils(2.1 sqmm), a combination of which proves a great synergy and therefore comes highly recommended. The copper foils infuses body/substance, presence, vitality, a more natural tone and timbre, and sharper edges. The combination of the two wins over both in singular runs.

It would seem parallel runs of similar cables in single wire configuration just as well lends many of the same traits as the silver/gold and copper combo mentioned above.
fellas,to me this is funny,where is tobb,the guy that started this thread?got the xxxx out of dodge I suppose?LOL!cheers!
Hi everyone,I like some of what is being said here,you know the misleading and all the crap specifications that don't matter!,I do not have experience with analysis plus cables,however,I have seen a couple of members of the gon reccently not care alot about there foward sound they described that happened in their systems,ok,you know what?,automobile companys do the same, misleading the public!the fricken goverment is notorios for the same thing,you will have more misrepresentation with almost everything,a pair of pliers are pliers,opps,these are made in china!,guess what?,they wont be pliers very long,LOL!,you really can not base the cable industry as a whole on the findings of a particular cable company like analysis plus!,tell you what!read the papers on taralabs zero gold i/c,taralabs onyx i/c,taralabs omega gold speaker cables,and why you are doing that call all the reviewers liars when you see hundreds of positive reviews and awards thats been reposted on the Taralabs site!,like,the zero gold i/c componet of the year 2012,by the absolute sound! magazine!,their white papers make since on top of that!yes you will be stunned!,thanyou gentlemen for your time.
