Cables more hype than value?


What are the opinions out there?

my 2cents: just went from 60/40 copper/silver to OCC (pure copper) and there was a difference. Also, went from bi-wired to shotgun with jumpers, and there was a difference.
Changed to Crystal cable inter-connects, and there was a difference!

So for sure you can customize the sound of your system with cables. If you have an issue with your sound - just ask, we all have answers.

Judging by the number of posts on this thread - we all have answers :-)
regarding the original thread, hype may be a marketing ploy by manufacturers, or the result of owners' cognitive dissonance, but "value", is subjective.

thus, the question has no answer.
I tested many canbles in 15 years of time. In my opinion there are a lot cables which are average or even poor. So yes you can say that most cables are more hype than there value worth. But about audio in general the same thing.

And wenn I read some of the answers, I think they are "more hype than value".
