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.

Prof-you are wrong in your analogy with cameras. Today’s cameras are so much better than just a couple of years ago. My iPhone camera is probably better than the 1 ansel Adams used. I had a Nikon d1 which was a $5000 camera 20 years ago and it had features than some of the newer cameras don’t have, except for 1, number of megapixels. The d1 had 3 megapixels, the new nikons have10x more megapixels. If you blow up a picture from a d1 past a 8x10, you get fuzziness and it looks like s---, blow up a 25 or more megapixels camera and you will see it as pristine. Same goes with cables, new technology has improved the sound quality and sometimes this requires paying more $$$.

Someone is defensive about being called a naysayer. You are a Cable naysayer. I really feel sorry for you and your lack of hearing. I do

So essentially calvinj has shown, repeatedly, that he really just created this thread to troll people who are more skeptical than he is about cables.

Elizabeth also was happy enough to enter this thread and "alienate another audiophile" and "drive the nail in."

And yet we see complaints ini this same thread that "cable skeptics" are the ones looking to agitate.
