@Elizabeth: I recently made a set of phono interconnects using two conductor/with mesh ground. I can hear no difference, between direction. I have a set of Veristar Silverstream and my home made cables rate right up there with them. I listen for hum and general frequencies. As I said, I run Transparent Silverlink Plus, with an extension for footage, on my preamps to main amps Do you think the generic extension detracts from my quality? I have done A/B tests and can’t tell the difference. I’ve read when using balanced cables, it doesn’t effect the sound that much, when using balanced cables. I see you spent a boat load on xlr cables. Did you try generics for the long run first? I have not joined the ranks of aftermarket power cables yet. I tried some Tranparent power cables, but just couldn’t hear the difference,
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.
