Is there a glass ceiling for cable technology??


Every year or two year, cable manufacturers , (like other audio components) introduce newer and better versions of the series that came before.

Despite new cable materials and geometries of construction, will there be a point where the "newest version" will have reached the glass ceiling of ultimate performance??

Jim-

one would think that there exists a glass ceiling for all things cables/cords.

Remember, there is a ton of over-priced junk being produced by boutique operations. The better cables/cords are not mass-produced (Kimber, Cardas, Transparent...etc.).

The best cables/cords are being made by hand and to-order.
Also, there is a strong metallurgy component to be factored in as well. Examples of this practice are the newest Audience, Stage III Concepts and Silent Source offerings.

Disclaimer: I am a cable/cord guy at heart, yes, they do make a difference!
