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?

You made a funny!

I just went to your site to look at the cables. I don't know if it's an error, but there is no pricing for the RCA interconnects. Anyway, I was wondering what metal the RCA plug are made of. I can see that they are gold plated.

You post didn't seem to address the OP's query. I'm sure that you know a lot more than I do about physics, it's your English that I have trouble with.

@czarivey 

What are you trying to say? I don't think anyone can understand your post.

@calvinj 

Nothing new. Why get upset? Let @jasonbourne52 and all of the others say what they will. Those of us with ears will always hear the differences that different materials and topologies use. For the good or the bad, everything makes a difference.

@czarivey 

No, I just don't understand your garbled, pathetic attempt to write in English. Yes, if there was a pun, I missed it.

No, it didn't bother me, but it was sort of a non sequitur. It was just an ad for a particular brand of cable, and I didn't see what it contributed to the conversation. In addition to that, you posted it without introduction or comment which seemed strange.

@audioisnobiggie 

A lot of nonsense and exaggeration in your post, as well as silly assumptions about what audiophiles want from their systems. As far as Dion goes, I don't know what you're trying to say...

I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear. I wasn’t looking to buy a set, I was just wondering what the RCA ’s were made of (brass or copper). The only reason I mentioned the pricing on the RCA version of the interconnects was that they weren't listed with the others on the price list, and I thought it might have been a mistake. Thanks.
