Why Do Cables Matter?

The dead horses are strewn all about in these parts and people just keep on beating on them. 🐴💀😵

If people think they matter then they matter.

My personal view is on the grand scale of things, practically, wires are not a big deal. Get some good quality ones if needed, get all the rest right and you are in good shape. If it still matters to you then try something different and see. Expensive wires are very practical to buy used. Not too much that can go wrong with them over time compared to the more complex devices. Let other people pay top dollar if they must.

People who own the really expensive stuff and still find it lacking assuming its well set up look to whatever else they can at that point to make further tweaks. Wires are a prime candidate. The logic is you have expensive stuff and don’t want to skimp on the wires. Wires can make a noticeable difference in the sound in many cases, like seasoning in soup, but not always and cost may or may not be the reason.

For most people I would recommend get the major components and their integration into the room right first and cost is NOT the primary factor for that. Bigger rooms will cost more in general, that’s the only rule. Mogami wires are always a perfect choice. So are most any commercial grade balanced interconnects if an option. If you must play around from there, so be it. If that involves throwing more money at the wires, more power to you. To each his own.

Mogami is a smart choice for quality and value.   I'd keep those and change anything else if needed.
