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.

@teo_audio  Thank you for another value laden post.

+1 "If you watch yourself carefully you can see it in action."
@prof I enjoy a post even when I do not agree with it, especially so when that post triggers my brain to think.

In @teo_audio ’s post regarding ’sibilance’ (from another thread) and reposted a few posts above this one, I found value in what he was communicating. It made me think.

My use of the word ’laden’ (following value) concerned me and I came close to qualifying it with an added ’positive’....this likely would have helped with the interpretation.

I was sincere in my response to this (his) specific post. No sarcasm or satire or veiled (or otherwise) intent implied. : )
A set of 4 different DC cables just arrived from Shanghai. The Canare 4S6G speaker cable with Oyaide GX16-2 to USB C connectors just went in system from the LPS to Router. 
@taras22  Spot on. Thanks!

Bottom line you are absolutely and positively dead wrong, in fact you are 180 degrees out of phase on this.

Read this in my news feed today. Curious as to whether there is (perhaps) something here? What do you make of it?.....

"The researchers hypothesized that the type of magnetic particle found in these brain regions is a compound called magnetite (Fe3O4), based on previous studies that found this particle in human brains. It's possible, however, that other kinds of magnetic particles exist in the brain besides magnetite, Gilder noted."

There’s Bose and then there is this:

"the app features new music recorded by the band that can be manipulated by the user by interacting with visuals around them."

Time to let go of the past and move to the present....
