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 tried to watch the video but after a few minutes it was just stuff I did not understand or really care about so I stopped and put on Art Pepper and that is something I understand. Art coming through my modestly priced speaker cables....!
Sick of all these videos...just leave me alone. I will buy what I want. If I hear the difference, then it was worth it. Too many busy bodies worrying what everyone else spends money on. Cables do make a difference, at least i can hear it. I did not spend a ton of money either. You cannot go wrong with Audioquest, QED, Atlas, Chord, ecosse cables. They all offer a line of reasonably priced quality cables and interconnects. If they want to use zip/lamp cord or Amazon basic cables then go right ahead. I've been using my 4 meter pair of QED silver anniversary bi-wire cables forever now and they sound darn good to me. Also Chord c-line interconnects have been in use for years with good results. My alternate pair of 4 meter speaker cables are the Audioquest type 4's. 2 pairs for bi-wiring my Tannoys. They were reasonably priced and custom made by Audio Advisor. No need to spend any more than this for quality cabling. 
Over the decades I have have learned to trust my ears and not measurements.  But I will not criticize anyone that feels the need for a measurement crutch.

Sadly, they won't leave us alone. The measurementalist belief system is like a cult religion, and its prosylitizers see this site as fertile ground for recruiting new followers.

It's getting worse. Those who won't embrace the measurementalist's fundamentalist beliefs are chastised as stupid, deluded, fraudsters, and worse. And those are the attacks we've suffered just over the last few days.
