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.

Geoffkait...it’s funny you mention Asperger’s...I honestly pegged you as having it...but not the audiophile kind.

Repetition...issues with social interaction...

The emoji for Asperger’s is 🍑🍔 🍔

@calvinj your making a lot of generalizations again that show your lack of knowledge. Like your using the terms vintage gear and cheap gear like its synonymous. Have you ever priced a pair of vitavox corner horns? Pair of western electric amps?
Then you bring up the term audio envy. Like us us poor sods who run vintage just can’t afford modern stuff but lust after your system. Couldn’t be further from the truth. I run vintage gear because the pieces I run sound better to me and are built better. Nine times out of ten that modern piece your paying big bucks for is just a vintage idea/piece regurgitated.
And back in the day a lot more engineering and money was applied to audio/new products. Magic fairy dust was not included.
Your post denying that your one of those guys essentially proves it more than anything.

I think analogluvr protests too much. I love older gear, ’vintage stuff can be wonderful. However new gear is a lot more than rehashing older designs "with a sprinkling of fairy dust'.

As far as lack of knowledge.  Whatever! My experiences are mine. You have your opinion. I have mine.  That’s part of the problem here. A lot of you guys think you know it all. I don’t nor to I claim to. My opinions are different but your lack of knowledge led you to make that statement Most of what we talk about is opinion. But I guess my lack of knowledge led me to have my opinion. Lol. Anyway. Carry on.
