WHY CABLES MATTER!


I have seen the argument over and over again on why cables matter and the that wire is just wire and how scientifically it’s impossible for them to make a difference. The thing that surprises me the most is that different materials are used. Different shielding is used. Different connectors are used. Different braiding methods of the cables are used. Materials are sourced from different manufacturers and put through different creative processes but I always get some guy who comes on and says. WIRE IS WIRE AND YOU ARE NOT HEARING WHAT YOU ARE HEARING? To me it’s pure arrogance to think you know more than everybody else to the point where you tell me what we are hearing through my ears and we are not smart enough to know when are minds are playing trick on us. But using all these different materials, process and shielding and creative processes don’t make a difference. I spent the last 15 years trying all the cables I could try.  Thoughts anyone?

Cables are like my mother in law... They make a difference everywhere in my house. ( she is everywhere anyway near 100 😊)

But it is nothing compared to my speakers (wife) and to my amplifier (me) ...

Anyway nothing matter compared to my children they are our dedicated acoustic room ...

All sound well thanks to them at the end ...

😊

The general question of the new paradigm which had changed science in the last years since Turing , Marvin Minsky and Kurzweil, from materialism to techno-cultism and transhumanism is this one : will we change man to became a tool for A.I. or go on with the human genomic and biological integrity as superior ?

A.I. is not a tool like printing machine was, A.I. is like the fire and more impactful on the long term than fire ; it will change our body and society on a scale which will exceed the discovery of fire impact...

I had decided that human are superior for reasons i will not discuss here, then i trust my ears to decide which cable satisfy me ...

I could not repeat Rodman reasons nor the others opinion here . This is mine rooted in acoustic basic training. I also know that the difference cables make are minor compared to the set of acoustics factors huge impact by modidfication of the acoustic parameters of the gear or and of the room and of the listener ..

I live-recorded 4 power cables yesterday. I hear the sound difference clearly. Can you hear it?  Click times 4:469:5014:3818:53 to hear different cables. Alex/WTA

 

I can hear the differences easily...😊

My system is very detailed and balanced...

Wavetouch win for me easily ... More natural sound ... The worst is the first i dislike it completely 😁... Second zantara better indeed but wavetouch win the cake and is not fatiguing as the first cable and more natural timbre than the second ...

Congratulation milhorn !

 

I think i induced all people in error...😁

I apologize...

My mother in law being an exception is like a cable going on from one room to another without noise...

You are right ! I am wrong ... It is my mother in law that is faulty here compared to all the others one  ... ☺😁😊

Hifi cable ---> rejects noise well.

Mom-in-law ---> spews noise all over the place

Big difference between mom-in-law and hifi cable. 🕴
