| Why not? @soix and @holmz Funny story about that. A friend lent me a pair of MIT Terminator2 speaker cables. I put them in my system, replacing some Crutchfield generic cables, and was amazed! Clarity, texture! I was so smitten I bought a pair of MIT Term... | |
| Why not? I had a feeling that you would misconstrued my response. I hate to make assumptions but you seem to lobby for guys who are, 1) Too lazy to take the time to compare power cords, 2) Too cheap to pony up money for a decent power cord If you are ... | |
| Why not? So we had a few additions and corrections, here is the current summary of this thread, thanks to all contributors: Audio manufacturers who include or recommend high end cables with their equipment Burmester Audio Note PS Audio. They recommend Au... | |
| Why not? If I may @ghdprentice you commented earlier on that this problem had occurred to you as well. You have spent a lot more time and money than me in the pursuit of sonic excellence and I think you said in another thread that you had been in the tech... | |
| Why not? @roxy54 i’m not sure which statement you are referring to. | |
| Why not? @chocaholic and @jasonbourne52 You both raise good points that make me think we should also include manufacturers on this list who affirmatively state that there will be no significant improvement in the performance of their product with anything... | |
| Why not? It feels like we are gathering momentum here! Thanks for all the contributions. Here is a summary of what has been shared so far, just so future readers don't have to pick through the entire thread. I will do this periodically as a service. I hope... | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? Recently (past 5 years) some cable manufacturers have incorporated "newer thinking" … The question is whether the thinking occurred in the marketing department or in the design team? if in the design team what inspired them? Is there such a... | |
| Why not? @roxy54 I know. You are correct, some provide more than others but as was said in another thread it is the wild west. I don't even have language to intelligently discuss cables because there seems to be no agreed upon language to describe what ma... | |
| Why not? You know, I think I would fully agree with you @roxy54 if most of the cables we are talking about cost less than $50 and very few more than $100 AND if we spoke of them mainly in terms of the materials, designs and workmanship employed. In other w... | |
| Why not? @oldrooney point well taken. Here is our list so far: Brumester Audio Note PS Audio? Krell Schiit Musical Fidelity | |
| Why not? @gs5556 The analogy with tires is actually a pretty good one since all new cars come with tires selected by the manufacturer. That's the way they get reviewed and tested too. I get it that then you can also opt for "hi-performance" or longer life... | |
| Why not? Making cables optional is a thought, especially if they can be offered at a discount, @soix you raise an excellent point which I forgot to mention. Certainly if one or more cable models where determined to give top results the manufacturer could ... | |
| Why not? Audio Note looks like a very cool company although I am sad to say I have never heard their equipment. Just the fact that they offer a DIY line puts them in another league (for the better IMHO). I was actually aware of PS Audio and Audioquest. I ... | |
| Why not? Thanks for contributing that knowledge @alexatpos ! If the situation is as you describe @nonoise then it really is impossible to talk about matching cables to equipment at all. It puts us all adrift in our own little bubbles of perception with n... |
