I have found that different cables work differently which I assume has a lot to do with system interface. I had been running a Shunyata Venom RCA interconnect from Pre (ARC ref 5se) to amp (sanders Magtech). Other cabling (source and speaker) remained the same. I heard very distinct and noticeable improvements including detail and, surprisingly, imaging enhancement when I swapped in a slightly shorter length (1 vs. 2 meter) of Wireworld Eclipse 8 (base ohno copper version, not silver or gold reference). Why I don’t know but the benefit was apparent.
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
They’re some pricey cables that have claim to fame because of the high tech geometry used in their cables.
Many of these cables have patents on specific geometry patterns used in their cables and use this as a reason their cables sound so good. For that reason, many say the reason their cables cost so much is they’re so complex . The man hours to make a pr results in their high price. That maybe true for some cables, but I’ve seen very pricey cables using the same geometry reason that look like a thin piece of wire rapped in outer jacket no thicker than a pencil. So,Is all this geometry just another way to justify their cost or is it true science that we are paying in the end?
