Well said joecasey.The skeptics (deaf luddites) that can’t hear cables have only one argument now: price! They immediately cite two choices--$4 Radio Shack interconnects or $10000 MIT’s. Or worse. If these disabled folks would spend ANYTHING ($100) on a decent set of used cables they’d settle down and enjoy their system. Maybe they’re just cheap, skinflint wierdos who wouldn’t spend a dime to prove whether their stubborn attitude means anything.They’ve never used anything they couldn’t find at Home Depot.How many people hook up a new set of cables and immediately criticize the sound? It's important to know how they sound out of the box--but only to evaluate the impending stages of break-in. If you can't listen to new cables for a week or two to judge, you probably bought them from the wrong source.You wouldn't do that with a new pair of hearing aids! That's all cables are: hearing aids!
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables".
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables.
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.
