Cable Snake Oil Antidote

I myself have been involved with high end audio for well over 45 years now am in complete agreement with Michael Fremer that wires most certainly make a difference.  No doubt about it.  Actually Roy Gregory did an overall comparison over 10 years ago at the Denver Audio Show how, simply starting with a quality power cord, next an Audience power conditioner, next interconnects, finally speaker wires how each step most certainly made a difference-for the good.  I have found the same today.  Living in Boulder, I have found that simply adding a top of the line MG Audio Design interconnect between my McIntosh MR74 tuner to my Audio Research LS27 preamplifier can create an audio experience that still totally amazes me today.  The overall audio quality actually depends upon what, Say KGNU happens to be playing at the time.  With an overall quality audio system with the right wire loom, as the English say, even a 45 year old FM tuner can create a sound that can compete with other audio systems using records, SACD's, high resolution bases systems.  That is what power conditioning and the "right" wires can achieve by themself-make an ancient, generally overlooked audio delivery system to come into their own.  I would bet that way back in the late 1960's-early 70's that many purchasers of Quat electrostatic speakers in fact used them to listen to the BBC on FM radio as their principal audio source.
