Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?

“Now if I feel like tweaking, I’ll mess with room treatments, speaker position tweaks and room correction tweaks. Stuff that’s scientifically sound. If you think a length of wire makes significant difference to you, more power to you.”

Trouble is not only does the type of metal, purity of metal, thickness of the metal, dielectric material, or whether the cable is cryod, but also which direction the cable is inserted into the system. Infuriatin’ ain’t it? “Stuff that’s are scientifically sound.” Good one! English major, right?

I did not know that. 😳

Ouch! 😃

Actually, male enhancement pills are not (rpt not) really a good example to make your point since male enhancement pills work. At least that’s what I’ve read.

Geoff, yes, you should have gotten the Oppo UDP205. :)

Why? The LG Blu Ray was only $23. The LG Smart HDTV has a fabulous picture, as doe my LG smartphone, so I’m confident the LG Blu Ray player with the Carbon HDMI Cable will not be too terrible. 😛

After some of the usual agonizing 😫 I just sprung for an Audioquest Carbon HDMI Cable for my new LG Smart HDTV and LG Blu Ray player. The Carbon has 5% silver connectors and controlled for directionality. Oh, my! The Carbon cost 5 times more than what I paid for the LG player, which was almost new. Was that wrong? 😳

Lots of people say cables are technical nonsense. Quoting Peter Walker is not only name dropping but an obvious Appeal to Authority. There are far many well known speaker manufacturers who believe cables ARE important. For those who might not know who Peter Walker is, it was his brilliant idea to place thick metal grills all around the Quad electrostatics.
