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.

Wow elizabeth. Classy!

My responses to you were polite and honest. And after my first substantial response I finished saying "Anyway, I won’t pursue that any further, and thanks again for your input!"


So I was done.

But you chose to respond with a snide bit characterizing me as not trusting myself and not knowing which way was up or down. THAT was a baiting type of response, not mine.

So I politely explained how your characterization was inaccurate. And then again you’ve gone back to simply disparaging my character, without showing where I was unreasonable.


I’m not the one making baiting posts here. If you want to join in a thread clearly about debating the merits of cables, but are inclined to critique the person when you can’t point out a problem in their reasoning, then I’m not the one degrading the content of these threads.

At least my replies are there for more fair-minded folks to evaluate.



Why do some people with low end systems, who cannot easily distinguish various instruments or voices, but with shallow pockets, ever get involved so deeply in this type thread, which actually is a high end audio thread? Doesn’t make sense. It can only lead to disaster. 🤠
Now that I have alienated one more audiophile.. I can rest easy..LOL (but just to drive the nail in)
And the guy thinks anyone reads his whole thread? Jeesh who has the time? Some guys can say all that is needed in twenty words. Others, to say the same thing, need eighty. Then you got the guys who love to write, they post a thousand word essay every time. Who reads that stuff?

As you demonstrate, elizabeth, brevity is easy when you reduce your posts to attacking the person, not the content.
Stay classy. ;-)

Some thousand word essays are easier to read than others. I for one find Prof’s lengthy but intelligent and very well written posts to be a pleasure to read.
