Interconnects and non-believers


For anyone who denies there are differences in cables, I have news for you.
There are vast differences.  I just switched interconnects between my CD transport (Cyrus) and DAC (Schiit Gumby), and the result was transformational.  Every possible parameter was improved: better definition, better soundstaging,  better bass, better depth etc.
I can’t understand how any audiophile with ears can deny the differences.  Is it delusion or dogma?

May the last 4 posts be a lasting reminder of why not to start a cable thread next time one is tempted.

I have switched cables on every part of multiple systems. USBs, RCAs, power, 3.5s (for car audio), headphone cables. Cables make a huge difference. There are 4 main parts to any setup, the headphone/speakers, amp(s), DAC and cables. And it's easy to justify spending similar amounts on all of them. I was skeptical at first, but even changing the RCAs on my first amp/dac setup, the ifi zen stack, from the one that came with it, to a $45 audioquest evergreen, made a massive difference. I was in awe of how big of a difference it made. Everyone can hear the difference cables make. Almost all the naysayers just never listen in the first place, and come up with any excuse to deny that it was the cable that made the change. The other few naysayers are those who lie about cables so they gain a following from the circle jerkers with egos too fragile to even listen to something before making up their mind about it, and arguing over it.
