So here is a question. I have a degree in physics and applied mathematics, and I think I can make really good sounding /looking cables, how do I go about pricing my cables? It seems that the pricing is all over the place, and I am not really sure why some cables are much much more expensive than others besides the material quality. The cost seems to be what the manufacturer thinks they can get away with, as no R&D data is published. So how do you go about pricing ?
Thanks
I dont know, In my system cables dont make much of a difference. last 20 years with 10k usd spent in cables … my experience has been no to some sound difference at most. In my very early years I saw a big change going from 18/22 gauge to 12/10 gauge. My current two channel system is paradigm signature s8 v1 + parasound jc monoblocks + parasound jc2. I use audioquest type 9, and kimber 12vs (cable length is Left 15 feet, Right 8 feet) and the sound difference is extremely minimal, not a game changer in anyway. I see more value in room treatment, speaker positioning to get better sound than investing in cables. I see many pictures in audio forms, and here where people place tower speakers 6 inches from the back wall, 10 inches from the side walls, and 5 feet apart...and expect them to sound good...I dont understand it. At the end of the day everyone experiences sound differently, so I can only speak for myself and my system. My second system is a 2.1 setup composed of kef ls50 meta, parasound hint 2.1, M&K v12 subwoofer, with bluejeans 10 gauge cables - and that system sounds phenomenal - not the most high-end system but pretty good for price, and can be considered endgame for many people.
