cable doubter no more

i was once one that thought high end cables were just a waste of money. i upgraded my system and purchased all ps audio cables. these were replacing signal cables, i heard a clear improvment. i was satisfied, and believed my currant componenets were as good as it would get with them. i then went to the R.M.A.F. and lusted after all the great sounding gear. but my ears were bigger than my wallet. but after finding some good deals on some dh labs revelations, and a set of analysis plus blackovals, my system has been transformed. im talking a good 20% by 2 sets of interconnects and a set of speaker cables. im blown away by the improvement. to all you cable doubters out there sorry YOU ARE WRONG !! just wanted to get that out there , thanks for reading.

ok, "you are wrong" was not intended as an attack, as much as a seeing the light kind of thing with cables

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Another saved.

I see the light too! However, my philosophy is somewhat different: any piece/group of equipment that improves by 20% with change of wires (no filters - some cables are actually filters which would be different) is either badly designed or something is already incompatible/broken in my book. So for sure a cable can make such a huge 20% difference but this simple fact points to another problem somewhere else. (remember an IC or cable is just wires).

So in my religion audio equipment should work well with any appropriate interconnects and cables and if it doesn't then I get worried about the short comings of the components or their fundamental compatibility with eachother.

Carlos269,

Thank you for opening the window - a sudden breath of fresh air just blew through these forums. Unfortunately, the window will soon shut and the smell of 'snake oil' will soon dominate once more and, like any smell, after a while we all get so used to it that nobody even notices it.
