Cable Costs Relative to System

To inpepinnovations@aol.com,
I contact Don at DCCA Audio and specify how I want my PC's to sound and he makes them for me exactly how I ask. Thats how.

Joeyboynj, How does one go about specifying desired cable performance? Does one merely provide one's equipment make, model number(s), and any available specs? Since the consensus is that cables are component or system-dependant, how does a cable designer/manufacturer guarantee a cables performance without utilizing the customers actual components?

Just curious how the process works.

So, Joeyboynj, Don knows how those effects work, but is keeping it secret from you?

inpepinnovations@aol.com, I’m not an engineer, just a music lover. Don at DCCA Audio is a cable designer just like RidgeStreetAudio and such. I don’t ask about how he designs his cables. That is why I hire him to make me my cables. I tell him what I want and he sends them to me. Why don’t you e-mail him and ask him a few questions and maybe demo some of his fine cables and find out for yourself.

Metro04, I tell Don at DCCA Audio what audio qualities I enjoy and what type of sound I am looking for. I also provide custom specs of how long the cable should be and the connector positions so the cables fit perfectly in my rack. DCCA sends them to me and I take a listen on my system. I made requests of any changes in sound quaities and I send them back for adjustment. The cables come back tailored to my specific likings for my specific system. These are my experiences and this is what worked for me. I'm just passing on my findings. I'm happy and that is all that is important.

Enough said let's move on...

I use to think that cables were an afterthought, but as my system developed over time, wires became the weakest link by far. I have since adjusted my outlook towards cables, I would consider cables to be a primary component, like an amp or preamp.
