Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade

why doesn't somebody record, using a high quality mic, their system where the only thing that changes are the cables.
Then produce say a cd so that one can quickly AB the same music tracks and hopefully hear the difference. Wouldn't this be an easy way to prove if cables make an audible difference or not. Or am I missing something?

kimber, ps audio, mit,cardias, murrow, shunyta, pangea, and 50 others are just selling snake oil power cables????please! get a grip. and they show up at industry conventions and keep straight faces while they scam an entire industry?? please!!!

The usual "does he or doesn't he" contest. The same old argument: listening experience VS double blind 'scientific'..
Who cares?
And I agree the Op was trolling. If he already HAS his mind made up, the way the question was posed is just trolling. IF he asked it a different way, where he asked WHY folks use aftermarket cords.. well.
And I am CERTAIN the Op can use the cheapest functioning wires and be happy, after all, it seems clear he believes all wires are the same.

Here is great info on the topic. google>

Speaker Wire "A History"

Jeez... i am a convert. After reading one guys take on wire, (who happens to be pushing wire is wire, pretty hard) I realize I have been mistaken! I will throw out all that 'smoke and mirror' wire I own and go directly to Radio Shack and buy the cheapest stuff, and go to Menards and buy some zip cord.. after all, if that dude who is a real live 'guru' says it is all crap.. who am I to doubt?
No kidding.. or am I kidding? I am kidding. No.. I am NOT kidding about not kidding.. I am, am not kidding about kidding about kidding. Got it?
Who to believe?? I am sooooo nervous.. One GURU says this, the other says the OPPOSITE!.. Jeez I'm sweating.. maybe i should just rest a bit... Trust my own ears.. yeah.. my own ears!
I TRUST MY OWN EARS!!!! HEAR THAT WORLD!!!
I TRUST MY OWN EARS!!!
