Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?


Audioholics will be doing another video on this at 4pm (I assume Eastern), today. Rather than comment on it after the fact, some here might want to jump into the live comments thread? Anyway, in case that’s you, here’s the link:https://youtu.be/kR12Ttuxobs

Old chestnuts never die, they just return in the Eternal Cycle of Re-roasting....

I can't get over how cluttered and sonically distracting his studio is. I mean, no matter what cables he's running through those floordstanders, it won't make a difference to me with all that shyte lying around. No to mention the glass wall. Dude- get a sense of space and curate your room!
I think different cables will give you different sound, not necessarily a better or worse sound  I've had cables deep in the stage but, compress the width about cables open up the width but the stage becomes very shallow. Cables can only do as much as your components are capable of really. However, I've never spent more than $500 on a speaker cable, and I wouldn't. So I have no idea what those four figure even five figure cables might do to your system.


I went from acoustic Zen to Canare 4s11, twelve gauge wire as I set up my system differently and had to get long runs for the speaker cable. Obviously I couldn't afford 20-ft lengths of Acoustic Zen, but I really can't tell a difference with the Canare. That could be confirmation bias that could just be lack of sonic memory.


And yes I picked up on the irony of the electrons. Personally I know exactly where every electron is on the cable at any time.
