Ok, let’s do this! I’ve owned more than a considerable cross section of various cables and gear over the past 4 decades. In my experience, the only cabling that could consistently reproduce the full measure of my musical repertoire, have had networks on them. Without the “boxes”, the noise floor was higher, low level details were buried, dynamics were constricted, natural body and weight of instruments were reduced and tone, texture and timbre were less faithfully reproduced. Harmonic complexity and the acoustic envelope around the recording space was also glossed over without those “silly boxes” attached! Personally, I’ve never cared for following anyone’s personal audio-religion...I simply layed down my cash and listened. For me, the snake oil is in the non-network cable manufacturers offerings...different combinations of exotic metals, cryogenically treated connectors, geometries etc.. These differences do change what you hear, but they do not address the damage that is being done to the signal along the way. Like I said, if you truly love great performances of well recorded music and you wish to experience as much of the ethereal magic as is contained in your musical recordings, then what you actually do need is “snake oil”! Everything else is just wire
It's Simple
Cables have properties Inductance L, Resistance R and Capacitance C.
Ditto loudspeaker, connectors, electronics in and out.
LRC are used to create filters aka Tone Controls.
Filters cause amplitude and phase changes.
Cascading LRC creates a very complex filter.
Another's opinion on a particular cable may not be valid unless they have a very similar system.
