Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?


After listening to many speaker cables, I am listening to basic 14 Gauge, high purity copper speaker wire and find myself shaking my head.  Does this basic speaker wire sound better than cables many times the price?  I am really starting to ponder that question.  I think I am hearing things on my records I never heard before and better balance of sound.  What are your thoughts?

And we should believe all you audiophiles who tell us there is a difference? Until there  is a reputable ABX test done between some cables, I think you are all blowing smoke.

With all due respect, you are the one claiming expensive cables make a difference.  I see nothing that scientifically supports your hypothesis, so if you want me to believe your opinions, prove them.  Point me to real scientific studies that I can’t seem to find.

“I provided you the proof you seek - a very thorough, valid, blind scientific study - just yesterday. It proves the difference.”


Yes, I read the study in June when it came out.  It compares a XLR cable with a RCA cable.  That is not quite the type of comparison study I was looking for.
