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

barts,

"Wanna meet in a public space and hash this out?"

In public? I am too shy for that.

Both Gene & Amir arrive at the same conclusion every time they measure something. Thus, there is no need to watch their videos because we already know the answer. 

Cables make a difference.  Error on side of affordable and what sounds good for your needs.  Canare Star Quad 4S11 14 AWG twisted and paired to 12 AWG works on my Dynaudios.  Cheers.  (canare.com)

@Millercarbon Just asking what cables transformed your system?  I do hear difference but I have never found a cable to transform my system although I would pretty much be open to hear that!

IMO cables can be used to fine tune a system but my question is - if someone took you favorite cable out and put in a different cable of similar quality would you actually know that?

For example - had a few people over a few weeks back - a few people wanted to hear the different digital cables they brought over - everyone came to the opinion on the rankings of the three cables.  After we listened to the system for a few hours I had to laugh as my system has Vandersteen HP-M5 filters (custom made by me) and I use an interconnect from those filters to the amps.  Those interconnects are the old pairs of ICs you got with the old 1970's tape decks - you know the ones, mine are Sony molded plastic ends.  So while we heard slight differences with the digital cables, the music was flowing through $1.99 cables.

Happy Listening.
