You guys are omitting some of the other West Coast cables, such as Bill Low's Big Reds, which I still have in my storage room. I still have the Cobra and several of the Petersons around also. Also while I was living in New York I got several versions of the Distech cables and still have a power cable made of four shotgun runs of the Distech speaker cables. I also still have several handmade ics and speaker cables from Len Hupp who ran AudioHorizons magazine out of St. Louis. They were the first woven cables I heard. I used the speaker cables on my subwoofers just a few years ago.
Cables - When Did it All Start?
OK, here we go...
This is not another "I just installed cable X and the soundstage and microdynamics just shot through the roof..." or "What cables do you guys recommend for..." but a simple question. When did people start noticing that different cables in audio gear apparently sound different? Or another related question, who was the first cable company to offer different "audiophile" cables?
I do not have golden ears and with two children constantly chirping in the foreground/background I can barely hear the music most times anyway, thus I really have no practical experience if cables make a difference.
Regards,
