The truth about interconnects - can you handle it?

Agree with Gs5556. I handled it a long time ago. What you hear is what you get. I suppose the next website link will be about the "fact" that we can't see the difference between anything either. Afer all atoms are atoms. We're just imagining the whole thing.

The truth is that the writer of this article don't have a pair of good trained ears. We can handle that.....

What is this Redbeard's problem?
Who cares about thes 'troll' posts?
Why bother? except to say it's obviously a troll post!

I didn't think so. Audioholics anonymous anyone?

The sub-linked article is a kill:
"As a rule of thumb, I recommend investing about 5-7% of your total system cost into cables and interconnects, with the following priorities:

1. Video Interconnects (75 ohm, shielded coax)
2. Analog interconnects (low capacitance, twisted pair / Coax, shielded when needed)
3. Speaker Cables (Low DC resistance and inductance, short runs when possible)
4. Digital Interconnects (75 ohm, shielded coax for short runs, or toslink for longer runs)"

Oh yeah, my TV's much more important that the rest of the system - but this quote is from a HT site. But what do I know, as a joke I've moved my home interconnects into my car system (Nak cassette deck/Soundstream amp/ADS speakers) and found that one can hear the difference driving down the highway. Ack!

But, then, they call ME extreme (same article): "The truth of the matter is, standard 12 AWG Oxygen Free Multistranded Cable (OFMC) is fine for most applications except for maybe the extreme scenario of a particularly difficult Electrostatic Loudspeaker (ESL) system driven by tube amplifiers" Is there another way?

Thanks for the chuckle, Redbeard!
