Anybody (who says the interconnect and power cable make different sound) is a liar. Except for very mechanically poor cables, there is no sound difference using different cables. Monster cables (less than $50 per pair, no matter with length) are good in terms of connectivity. Pangea cables good (except cables for digitals), too (not expensive, mechanically strong). I had two AudioQuest interconnect cables, which made poor connections between preamp and CD player (one channel didn't sound, re-connection sometimes worked). Kimber, PBJ, is another example of bad cable. When I used it to connect Sanui turntable and preamp, the cable picked up a lot of noise (hum). I replaced it with $10-cable, then the hum disappeared. There was no sonic difference between them, except for the hum noise. Why do you ask anyone if any better sound using higher-$-cables? Just do it yourself! Buy <$5-Radioshack and any $20-cable. Then, try them with your audio system. Don't be surprised when you can not tell any difference!
Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference
Im fairly new to the hifi world and just recently purchased a couple of high end peices.my question is this:ive been reading alot about cables and speaker wire,do the expensive ones really make that big of a difference???Is it really worth spending a small fortune on cables?? And is Monster Cable really overrated like ive been reading? Any help would be useful,thank you.
