Does a weave of cables really make a difference?
I have a mix of good quality cables -- speaker, AC, XLRs, USB, but they are a mix of brands. I would say they are all in the same quality/price range - $200-800.
Has anyone switched from a mix of brands to a weave of cables (my understanding of a weave is all one brand at the same quality/price level) and found it to be a big improvement? I would like to hear from people who have actually done this.
I am quite happy with my current sound, but would make the change if others have found there to be an audible difference. One of the audio dealers here claims it will make a huge difference.
I will add that I could easily hear an improvement with speaker and some slight improvement with the XLR's, but not so much with the AC cords. Also, I'd rather not just try weave out (as much as that makes sense}, as changing all the cords would be a real pain.
Thanks in advance.
Remember the wiring inside each of your components is not the same from one component to the next in the chain. The theory of a perfect loom is fractured anyhow. Therefore I don't "buy in" that all cables must be the same brand, level. Having intermixed many brands and compared to full looms of the same brand end to end, results can vary enough in order to simply try different combinations. Pick what sounds best to your ears for your system. Good enough can be okay too. |
@jjss49 its funny you bring this up, tonight I met up with a new audio member who picked up a set of interconnects from me to make his loom all the same, and yet I’m doing this myself again with a hope it imparts more of the same character. So am I now at 80% there with a consistent loom, and 20% not there with a mish-mash wiring inside all my components. hmmm, kinda like different type pieces of pineapple on a perfect pepperoni pizza, hahah, maybe so LOL 🤣 |
