I think probably most of the newer cables that are OFC sounds similar but I had a pair of monster cables from 1990 that were 10 gauge non ofc and I wanted to try bi amping so I went on Amazon and found it cheap pair of 10 gauge 10 ft to match my existing cables.. shielded ofc cables from "Gearit".. the first thing I did was remove my existing cables and try the new cables on their own. now mind you I didn't even want to buy these cables I was expecting to send them back but when I switched them and went through my music I noticed I considerable difference. they were about 30% better than my old cables. I tried bi amping which did nothing I removed my old cables put them away and ordered another cable for my center channel.these cables made the music sound more delicate and layered for $75 for the three.. I couldn't imagine what someone spending astronomical amounts of money could possibly hear but I'm sure it would be better than these, so I'm a believer 6
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?
