Like i said my ear is my ear. Damn a test. If I hear sounds that bring me joy I don’t question it. We are in this hobby to listen and enjoy not take some damn science test. Equipment sounds different and cables sound different. How about them apples!
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.

Q: Do cables really matter? A: Yes. Q: Are they worth the cost: A: Rarely. I’ve had enough experience with cables to note some differences between brands and construction. Can I justify more than $100 for any pair? No. I can’t. Honestly if you obsess over thousands of dollars of cables you need to go build your own speaker pair. You’ll learn a lot, and have a much better way to tweak the performance of the finished sound than cable auditioning. If you want really IC good cables at an affordable price, you can’t do better than buidling using solid silver interconnect wire from Parts Connexion. Use Cardas solder, and high end connectors and you’ll be ahead of the game by several thousand dollars. https://www.partsconnexion.com/CONNEX-66070.html Given that most solid silver IC's run $300 a pair at least, you can make them for a steal.
