DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

Yes they do.  I’m not here to advocate for any particular brand but I’ve heard a lot and they do matter. High Fidelity reveal cables, Kubala Sosna Elation and Clarity Cable Natural. I’m having a listening session where all of them is doing a great job. I’ve had cables that were cheaper in my system but a nicely priced cable that matches your system is a must.  I’m not here to argue what I’m not hearing because I have a pretty good ear.  I’m enjoying these three brands today and each is presenting the music differently but very nicely. Those who say cables don’t matter. Get your ears checked.  I have a system that’s worth about 30 to 35k retail.  Now all of these brands are above 1k and up but they really are performing! What are your thoughts.

Yes, you are born breathing. Unfortunately, you cannot learn to breathe better. You can learn how to control your breathing pattern to some very limited extent, but it will not be better in any way, as far as gas exchange is considered which is the purpose of breathing.


EDIT: Along with that, breathing is also an activity. It is not a purely receptive event. Comparing senses with muscle activity is not the best example

There are some exercise physiology folks you may want to talk to about that.

Physiology of oxygen use does change, points of switch from aerobic to anaerobic etc., but breathing is there in much simpler and less exercisable level. Breathing pattern will change based on the exercise tolerance, but gas exchange will not change without some V/Q mismatches and so on. Breathing pattern will follow the cell-level physiology, not the opposite (unless there is a pathologic condition involved).

If you are talking gas exchange via the membrane you have a point, but in terms of gas exchange in and out of the lungs maybe not so much? With both being part of the breathing process, yes? And don’t V/Q mismatches occur every time we move and that does affect gas exchange does it not.?
