Different does not mean better. Most audio lovers have some knowledge about differences in sound. But most are not capable to hear all the parts which are inmportant in a few seconds. I do consulting in sound and vision. I am in this business for 14 years. I started with equipment since I was 6. This is not my work, but a part of who I am. For me it is a lot more easy to hear differences. A freind of mine had a small concert room with a Steynway. It was a room for 65 people. Here I learned how small in dimension and how direct a voice and instrument sounds wenn it is not amplified. I see you use Classe old amps. I sold these amps for some years. Classe has a wide and deep stage and a warm sound as properties. But individual focus is not a strong point. This means you need cales which can give you a sharper focus. Brands like Audioquest and Kimber are good at giving a sharper image. The biggest problem most clients of mine have is wenn they are not happy about one part in there set. they focus only to this problem. Tehen they often forget the rest. Many times wenn they solved this problem ( for example tighter and more detailed low freq.) they get another new problem. A cable can make a big difference in sound, resolution, focus, depth and air around voices and instruments. You have to know about all these parts what changes. What I do for my clients is using a number they know very well. Then I focus on only 1 part. Later i take antother part and so on. So I make it more easy for them to understand about the changes of the different cables.
What do you mean by "better" when it comes to cabl
I have read a number of posts here and on other sites regarding cables being good or better or great or whatever. Once you use a pure copper or silver conductor, wrap it in a decent, effective insulator and terminate with quality RCA connectors, then what is it that an audiophile is looking for the cable to do? In other words, how does it become "better". Is it a matter of adding colorations. Or are people suggesting that there is some signal loss over 1 meter which degrades the sound and can be restored through better cable. and how does that restoration occur, or is it simply a matter of reducing loss. Is the cable being used as a tone control? an equalizer? Are we trying to achieve something more than what a preamp or component is putting out in the first place.
I am not in the camp that claims that cables dont make a difference, because I have heard a change in my system with a different cable, but it wasnt something strong enough for me to even articulate the change accurately. It sounded "better" but I dont know how or why. what is it that the better cable is supposed to do?
