Cables more hype than value?

@ audiozen,,Thats some very good info you have here!, However, The t.v.stations,recording studios,local radio stations cannot afford real cables!, The cables you are reffering to are junk!, I do know some world class recording studios and music venues like carnege hall, that use top tier Taralabs cables thru -out!, cheers!

Really?..Very high priced interconnect's and speaker cable's did not exist back in the 50's and 60's. Yet some of the greatest recording's from that time from RCA, Columbia/CBS, Capitol, Atlantic are very much sought after today. Back then they were using "junk cable's" you refer to in the studio's.

Bare in mind also that many of the top very expensive Cable companie's will give away their cable's to famous studio's, concert hall's, and Artist's so they can put in their company resume's that these famous sources use their product's.

Can you list some examples?

@ audiozen, Hi, I have never heard a recording that sounded like it was realistic sounding from the 50's and 6o's!, I believe those recordings that you are referring to were sought after for the music that was on them recordings only, not because of the quality of the recordings!, and I agree, the 50's and 60's recordings are sought after!,, In reality, not by anybody in their 20's or early 30's, just ole folks that are in their mid 50's to 75 years of age!, LOL! I am getting there, I am 46, I do like some 60's music, Janis joplin, the stones,jimie hendrix, etc..., the 50's, I have listened to alot of that, ask me what I just listened to, LOL!, I would not have a clue!,, cheers!
