Cable Snake Oil Antidote

Yes, there's always an angle to explore or ponder but it could have been word of mouth or actual experience with the product that led to using it, or any combination of events.

This just in: it seems there's yet another studio that switched to better made cables. EASTSIDE SOUND RECORDING STUDIO INSTALLS NORDOST CABLES - Positive Feedback

What the recording engineer said is worth reading.
(don't worry, it's a short article)

All the best,

He must consume lots of fibre. 😄

You've just called a few audio engineers here, liars, unless the use of "super" is taken literally. Studios have upgraded to expensive cabling when they could afford to.

All the best,

I just had a banana for breakfast. Does that mean I'll get mad bananas disease? 😄

Eve should have taken another bite from the apple.

It is counter intuitive that electrical energy in a series of electronics and cables could be immune from changes in LCR. Given loudspeakers with sufficient resolution, the changes should be apparent. However, just as some are colorblind and others tone deaf, some will not have the ability to discern subtle differences.

They could have stopped right there, at the 3rd paragraph, and then you wouldn't have something like this:

Yup. Poorly designed and poorly matched gear will be affected audibly by the slight impedance of a cable. High fidelity gear will not.

being a take away from the article. The article is littered with statements like:

A cable's performance is system dependent. An arguably better cable could make a system less pleasant if it exposes existing flaws. 

Note "could" and "if". It's not an absolute.

Whether these changes enhance or detract is completely system dependent! What works well in one system may not in another.

The only true way to know if a cable is better is to try it in YOUR system.

These examples are for illustration ONLY and are not intended for any other purpose.

(Note the illustrations were meant to show that carefully chosen wire construction can be made to sound closely the same)

Some claim all cables sound the same. Some claim two cables with the same R will sound the same. Some cable manufacturers make all kinds of wild claims, provide no engineering insight as to problems solved and charge ever increasing prices for something that may not be any better than, or even different from, what the customer is currently using as cables interact with the system!

Caveat emptor.

So in the end, two well made cables can sound different, taking the price gouging out of the equation, which was a needless caveat.

With apologies to Thomas Dolby: "They blinded me with science...."
