DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

Yes they do.  I’m not here to advocate for any particular brand but I’ve heard a lot and they do matter. High Fidelity reveal cables, Kubala Sosna Elation and Clarity Cable Natural. I’m having a listening session where all of them is doing a great job. I’ve had cables that were cheaper in my system but a nicely priced cable that matches your system is a must.  I’m not here to argue what I’m not hearing because I have a pretty good ear.  I’m enjoying these three brands today and each is presenting the music differently but very nicely. Those who say cables don’t matter. Get your ears checked.  I have a system that’s worth about 30 to 35k retail.  Now all of these brands are above 1k and up but they really are performing! What are your thoughts.

Matter - IMO sometimes.  I can get the same or better results much cheaper by changing resistors, capacitors or adding a simple filter choke to a component(s).  After that, the cable simply is the last "adjustment" in my system.  Like adding salt or pepper, they only flavor the sound a little in my system.  I have also used a few cables that I would consider through away cables that sounded as good or better in some applications so each system is different and it comes down to testing what you prefer in your system.

Happy Listening.
