No it should not hurt, on the contrary, this way you are able to finely tune or voice your system. If you find for example, that in your room your highs are too pronounced, or vice versa, or you want to correct the sound of your bottom end for that matter, your use of the right cable ( ic or speaker) will compensate for that fault to some degree. Please ignore those voices, which insist that most wires sound the same. They don't. Rather, if you have a specific cable in mind, contact us here, stating your setup and collect as many opinions as you can about how its characteristics are. Regards and have fun builing!
all or nothing
i am a new hi-fi nut. i am putting together a system and was wondering whether i can mix or match interconnects. i don't have the money to buy to buy decent interconnects all at the same time and i rarely see many of the same used cables for sale. does it hurt the sound and balance of the system if i use different interconnects for my different components? this includes speakers. thanks in advance for your replies.
