DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

There, fixed it for you.

And speaking of not listening why don’t you try to not listen to this....

" Same for electronics from a minimum quality level up."

Gee, minimum is by definition the least quantity or amount possible ....like are we talking BOSE Wave here or something even further down the food chain? Cause least possible is pretty much least, like bottom of the pile. Or are we talking wind-up Victrola and would that be with a new or used cactus stylus ( I only ask because the used one would be more minimum ) ?

Ok, seriously now, I thought this idea had died a long time ago, and had a stake driven through its heart just to be sure, but I guess not. Even more seriously, I’m sensing some weird Julian Hirsch zombie presence here, anybody else getting that vibe, or is that just the pizza I had last night talking ( note to self, you really gotta lay off the hot peppers, especially late at night ) ?

I have to go with the yeah, it is kinda heard to pick up the changes sometimes. When it is your own system you listen to all the time, it gets easier to hears subtle changes. I would never agree to listen to an unknown system and be asked to pick out changes! No way.But for my own.. yeah.

Gee whiz, guys, it looks like your humble narrarator is the only one here with golden ears. I have no difficulty whatsoever hearing subtle differences. Or earthshaking ones, either. I wish I could help you guys and gal out, I really do. That’s what is known in the biz as tough toenails. That’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. 🍪

My observation is that by and large most audiophiles don’t know where they are on the curve or how to get higher on the curve and can’t even tell when their sound takes a step or two backwards. That’s called lost in the sauce.

Power Cords To Me Has The Most Profound Impact On Our Gear and The Most Hard To Say For Sure How They Will Interact With Your Gear Power Supply. I Have No Conditioner That Improves Sound Unless You Have Really Bad Power Issues. Yes they Change The Sound In Areas Of The Reproduction But They Just Makes Certain Areas Stand Out More and Other Less, A Good Power Cord and Outlets In My Experience Will Always Make A More Real Improvement Across The Board.
