@deep_333 go ahead. It’s not an out selling smthg. I want opinions on how good they are from people who try them. It helps us knowing if real listeners like what they do or don’t do.
HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?
Just asking the question. If you don’t believe in cables. Good for you. But if you do have you ever made a cable change that opened up your system to new heights. Just interested if you have or haven’t. If you don’t believe in cables this isn’t a thread for you. What are your thoughts ?

@roxy54 I’m extremely informal on these threads. Bad habit. |
@kerrybh can get that last bit of performance you are seeking. Sometimes it also depends on what cable you are coming from. Is one was a really and match then the jump can be bigger. |
@asctim exactly. I’ve had system takes who jumps because of the very thing you speak of. |
@deep_333 o rn the infigo cables demo program. Would you like to,try something. No cost you only pay shipping back. |
@sls883 will extend a demo,to you of infigo cables if you are interested as well |
There sure are a lot of guys who wanna tell other people how ignorant they are when it comes to cables. The same guys that will never hear what they do or don’t do in your system. When I see folks making those comments. I turn them off completely. Most of us have been doing this audio thing 20 30 40 years. We know what we are hearing and what we are not hearing at this point. |
@gavman i literally have tried a lot of cables since I started in this 20 years ago. Cables make a difference in all the systems I have tried. Our Infigo Audio cables are what I run in my system. I have loaned them out to people to try because I believed they have a positive affect and improvement on most systems they go in. I let people try them before they buy them so that they determine if it’s worth it to them without the risk. Some people like them so much they never get sent back annd they don’t come out of their systems. Our ears in our systems should be the deciding factor. If you look at the cable deniers most shoot it down without even trying. I stay away from those guys. If you look at my original post it tells you share your EXPERIENCES! They come on the thread to share their scientific opinions and to snake oil name call. Never telling anyone what they tried and on what and when! You should never let someone he will never hear your system tell you why you won’t hear a change in a system that they don’t have and will never! THAT’S NOT SCIENCE THAT’S AGAINST COMMON SENSE! You are the one listening not them! The other thing is the arrogance that exudes from their comments basically calling the rest of us stupid and deaf if we hear a change. Interesting 🤔 |
@amitynick just sent a loaner out to a long time audiophile that I have grown to know. He literally is kicking himself for even listening because he said he thought he was done now he has to have them because they match his system so well. Sometimes it’s matching and sometimes the cable’s just get out if the way and let you get the best out of your equipment. |
@phd the approach we take is that the should just get out of the way. Should should have the sound of your amp and source and speakers. Cables should not be a bottle neck is the approach we take |
@mitch2 i have always let folks know that I’m affiliated with a brand but I have have been an audiophile first for the previous 15 years prior to that. I’m not here to trash any other brand or anyone else’s opinion. I want to know what people think. I want to know what they hear when they try cables. What they think about them etc. I’m not here to sell anyone anything. I do this in my free time. I have ran a successful law firm for 22 years. But I’m an audiophile first. I enjoy the hobby and the opinions of those in it. I been on Audiogon for the last 17 years or so. I come in and out. I do what I do to gauge what people are doing and thinking. Even the loaner program I do requires nothing of the borrower. I just allow people to try things. Follow their own minds in their own systems. I was on the other side where people hype you up,to buy something then disappear when it doesn’t work. My affiliation allows me to not do that to anyone. It allows me to help where I can and where I can’t no cost to anyone. |
@roxy54 yes that. Is correct! Lol |
@phd |
@andrewkelley thanks for sharing the right cables give you the proper synergy. Some of our ears are more sensitive to the little nuances
|
@adasdad sometimes. Cables bring clarity soundstage and layering, sometimes it’s how the display treble. Sometimes they give a more open sound. Either way they make a difference. |
@adasdad funny you metntion that. That’s exactly what Hans does with the infigo cabling as well as the electronics. That’s the basis for everything we do. The more quiet the background the better the music. The better the silence between the notes in my system I can hear everything in a fast Ahmad Jamal piano run. Sounds amazing. |
@adasdad by reducing the noise floor in the cabling and equipment you have a better listening experience. That’s the premise that we base everything we do on. My system does that from the dac all the way to the amp and cabling. |
@gordon thanks for your response. |
@jas_in_phila1 different systems need different things. Glad you found something you like. |
@big_greg sometimes it’s a system matching issue and synergy. Your system probably needed that cable change. I see that all the time. |
@mitch2 great points. It also depends how much a match they are to your system. I have had some of my customers at Infigo Audio tell me about a substantial jump in the level of their system after they tried our stuff. But sometimes it’s a matching thing. |

@jafreeman thats why at Infigo we allow people to try before you buy most of the time. It’s exactly why I started the demo program. I feel like a purchase like this you ought to be able to try it out most of the time. Your system. Your environment. Makes sense to me. |
@ps yes I did disclose. Those that know me follow my threads. A lot of folks have met me in person and some I’ve known for years on Audiogon. If you don’t like my threads or posts you can ignore them. I initially was not affiliated with any brand. I am now with Infigo but I’m still an audiophile and I like to know what others in the hobby think and feel. I’m not worried about crediblity etc. it only became an issue with you because I told you I could ask and start forums in CAPS if I choose to. Once again if this thread bothers you don’t have to post here. I was not affiliated with any brands my first 15 years posting and now the last 5 I am. I run a successful non audio related for the 23 years. I do a little audio related stuff on the side. Those that care to meet me in person can at the SWAF in Dallas or AXPONA in Chicago. Take care buddy. Now let’s stay on message about the thread not me. Happy listening. |
@dean_palmer thats the best answer I’ve heard in a long time. When you take all those principles into account. Do your research. Do a lot of trial and error and employ actual scientific principles you can create something that allows the most free flowing uninterrupted pathway and signal from your electronics to your speakers. |
