Are today's interconnects really better?

If you want to hear what so many doubt, and that's a huge improvement, then try Ridge Street cables. Until recently I wouldn't have believed the term huge could possibly apply to an interconnect. The silvers are as smooth as silk on my solid state gear and have the detail that silver is known for. True story from a formerly doubting Thomas.

Elizabeth,

I don't know if your comments are directed at me or not. That aside, let me clarify to your satisfaction. At one time I could buy ANY piece of audio gear I wanted and had one of the best dealers in the country at that time in my back yard. I've tried numerous cables from back then and never once felt a wow factor. Differences yes. Enough to justify their cost? Not really.

And, I don't own the cables I referenced above. They are in my system temporarily as a perk for working on anothers system and to satisfy my curiosity. I will say in no uncertain words that I have nothing to gain from these comments. I'm not justifying dollars that I spent. My comments couldn't possibly be more unbiased. Period.

The difference is huge and I'm not one to make that claim on a whim. I know what I hear. I'll miss them when they are gone.
