The whole cable argument is snake oil. Please.buy a good set of 10 or 12 gauge speaker cables and call it a day. Dare any of you in a blind test.
What process do you use to purchase cables?
I’m in the process of updating my gear and thinking about what to do for updated cables. Every time I think about it, my head spins as there are so many different cable options & companies. I struggle to even start the process.
I don’t care if it’s speaker cables, interconnects or power cords – Just explain what you typically do to nail down your purchase.
FYI – my past “process” was to simply purchase whatever I found to be the most affordable options recommended by folks on this board. For that reason, I’m currently using Canare 4S11 speaker cables, Mogami Gold interconnects, and Pangea power cords.
Since I’m planning to push my component updates to significantly higher quality gear, I don’t want to fall short on the cable side. If you have a process, let’s hear it! Thanks

The whole cable argument is snake oil. Right. That’s why so many people hear differences and so many companies are in business selling cables. Clearly, everyone has been fooled simultaneously. Most amazing con ever! If only we could get them to blind tests...oh wait. |
The opponent of cable differences has to maintain that *all* testimony regarding differences heard can be traced to unconscious or conscious bias. That is hardly proved and may not even be *provable.* But...thank you for setting the bar so high for your position. If you manage to leap over it, with more than mere assertion or scraps of evidence, it will be a monumental discovery for both audio and psychology! In the meantime, since you like my article posts, here's another. |
