Interconnects and non-believers

Is The Cable Company Still in business? Sounds interesting to try some good cables if you already have a good stereo.

"Guys, if you don’t hear a difference... just don’t spend your $$, and let everyone else make their own decisions. You don’t need to make your opinion into a crusade" That statement makes SO MUCH sense! So too, do scientific facts, such as the dielectric absorption of various materials, skin effect(and Litz), electromagnetic induction and how various constructions(ie: braiding) can avoid it, the chevron shape of drawn wire crystals and how single-crystal wire(ie: Ohno copper or silver) is a MEASURABLY better conductor, etc, AND(especially) how much aural acuity can vary, just like ALL the other senses. BUT, then we have the vociferous neigh-sayers and their ubiquitous LAST WORDS : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gROO7xSTxfY (how tedious!)

Yes the Cable Company is most definitely still in business.
Excellent source for people who wish to open their minds and try some cables out.

Cables clearly make a huge difference.  After I bought my first system I was really upset that I could hear almost nothing.  Then I tried interconnects and speaker cables and wow, the sound was so much better!

Clearthink: “You can STFU now.”

wow. What a classy guy. Have to resort to crude language now, do you?

thanks for the link. I’ll read it but it’s highly unlikely to move the needle. Imho these things don’t pass cost benefit analysis.

Btw, I have an engineering buddy who has 6 Grammy awards for his engineering work for Deutsche Grammophon. He built his own recording studio, speakers, etc and designed his own editing software. And he can play world class violin. The guy is a genius. His opinion: Are there differences? Yes. Are they meaningful? Don’t waste your money.

Do what you want. Just don’t expect me to follow you down that marketing rabbit hole.

On another note, my friend also says the Shure V15 type III was maybe the best cartridge ever made. Only $500 in its day. Good does not have to be expensive. The unique, proprietary needle design was half the magic, finding a used cartridge and re-tipping it is an impossibility.
