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.

Both are wave forms (and actually very similar in many ways) passing through a medium. Why not? I say yes. Why would you say no?

I was really asking and not having any opinion at that time. I do not have it now, either, but will slowly start thinking about it. Maybe I come up with something meaningful (pro or contra your statement), although do not hold your breath for that.

It’s all photons anyway so what’s the difference? 🙄

@elizabeth  this all sounds plausible. Electromagnetic radiation is indeed at times a complex and mysterious phenomena.

However if we poor humans had only ever relied on our eyes and ears we couldn't be having this debate.

In pure sonic terms, if we can't hear it then in practical terms it doesn't matter.

Even worse, it's a waste of time and resources. Anyone for a solid gold cable?
