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.

Speakers too! Almost forgot! And plenty of Lp's and CD's! Some RTR tapes (getting scarce!). And I was there when Noel Lee started the fancy wire business going (Monster). So I have a long view of the audio scene!

My recent posts are an attempt to add some humor to these oh-so-serious debates about wire!

Who needs wire? I’m going to use troughs of mercury for all signal connections!

Some one tried that already. His name was Faraday. He found a complex rotation in 3 axis. It’s in a conductive fluid, but not in a solid conductor. The signal is still trying to do so when it deals with a solidus conductor, and situation is a major component of the origins of the thing called 'skin effect'.

Which they don’t bother to tell you, so it is generally misunderstood.

Electrical calculation formulas-- are not the underlying physics.
