Your confirmation biased opinions are not relevant, and don't change science. In a blind test you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a snake oil $1,000 cable and a coat hanger. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Anyone who says otherwise is perpetuating what's wrong with this hobby and industry.
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?

@squared80 thanks for telling us what we are and are not hearing. I’ve had confirmation bias the last 20 years I guess. Lol 😂. All of us cable believers are just not hearing things or are we hearing things. |
@squared80 the brain is a powerful thing sir. I encourage people to trust their own brain. To trust their own ears. I think they should do that or trust someone off the internet who hasn’t heard or who will never hear their system. If they are using their brain like you said I think that makes sense to them. |
@squared80 (et al)- Rewinds: No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition. There are simply too many variables. LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, crystal, fuse, interconnect, speaker cable, etc) will make a difference, in their system and room, with their media and to their ears, without trying them for themselves. Some companies offer a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, so- those that are actually interested, have absolutely nothing to lose by trying (experimenting with) such. Anyone that knows anything about the sciences, realizes that something like 96% of what makes up this universe, remains a mystery. For centuries; humanity’s seen, heard, felt and otherwise witnessed phenomena, that none of the best minds could explain, UNTIL they developed a science or measurement, that could explain it. The Naysayer Church wants you to trust their antiquated science (1800’s electrical theory) and faith-based, religious doctrine, BLINDLY (their credo: "Trust ME!"). Theories have never proven or disproven anything. It’s INVARIABLY testing and experimentation that proves or disproves theories/hypotheses. IF you’re interested in the possibility of improving your system’s presentation, have a shred of confidence in your capacity for perceiving reality and trust your own senses: actually TRY whatever whets your aural appetite, FOR YOURSELF. The Naysayer Church HATES it, when THAT happens! |
