In my experience, cables do have a sound of themselves when connected to the same components...although they may very well sound different connected to different componets. In ,my system, Purist made the system sound much like tubes with sweet rolled off highs...but with a texture. Cardas closed in and flattened the sound, Audioquest Sky seemed perfect, but their WmFLowe top of the line was awful for me. Blue Jean's told me they are in the cable business, not in the Audiophile business. Try them all and choose the one you like.
Are cable recommendations worth anything?
I am a Denafrips dac owner. I use the Denafrips Facebook site for the same reasons I use this site.
Discourse, basic information and hopefully some enlightenment.
Recently one of the contributors asked the default question of "Can you recommend RCA cable brands that match well with Denafrips from dac to amplifier?"
Am I the only person that is confused when someone asks an open-ended question like this about cables?The sheer variety of "highly recommended" cables, lends me to believe that the cables are much less important to the sound than the component itself. Recommendations ran the gamut from the Tellurium Q Black Diamond cables at $1,100 CDN per metre, to the Blue Jeans cables at about $50 CDN per metre.
How does that make sense and how can this possibly help the poor slob that asked the question?
