Why Do Cables Matter?
Ok, I didn’t communicate my point. I’ll try one more time and you don’t have to read my notes. -Listening- to what? I mention Anthony Hopkins because everyone knows his voice but few have heard it in person, I’m not name dropping, If you have had ... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@tjag Here is something I bet you don't understand, listening is futile if you don't know how the instrument sounded originally it's futile if you don't know what mic was used to record it, it's futile if you don't know the room and the circumstan... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@knownothing Thanks for your understanding you get what I’ve been saying. Yes I have been a recording engineer for many decades, I retired about 4 years ago and now have a studio in my listening room as well as a regular system just for fun. I hav... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@knownothing I hear you and understand what you are saying but no one who doesn't believe in very expensive cables advocates using poor or "leaky" cables. I use Kimber cables for speakers, AC and Canare star quad for interconnects definitely bette... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@knownothing Sorry I didn’t answer your well thought out response. Here is where we were talking past each other. you said: I also maybe misinterpreted your point to mean it is hopeless to use way more expensive cables than the recording studio,... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@yoyoyaya That is an interesting way to look at at recording. That statement has a lot to do with how you set up your playback system at home also. Todays recordings rarely sound like live performances being multitracked and remixed as standard. I...

So why doesn't  the worlds most complicated most expensive machine (the ASML Semiconductor chip makers) use fancy cables. These machines need to do the most exact measurements in the world. Why don’t audio test equipment like Audio Precision teste... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@thyname Well I can say I believe @yoyoyaya is a recording engineer and he does know what he is talking about. I appreciate your advice and I'm learning you are right. I honestly wanted to see what the view of this group was about entropy and the ... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@tjag I think you make a good point about Paul of PS Audio, I've met him he seem like a great guy, what could make him pick another companies very expensive cables over PS Audio's own (I've bought them myself)? The answer is Paul needs to make mon... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@yoyoyaya  Yes  
Why Do Cables Matter?
@yoyoyaya I'm saying that the audiophile view of cables is not one of science but religion. People on this forum and on YouTube along with salesmen at EXPONA often describe the characteristics of their components as creating something in the music... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
Also curious why the worlds most complicated and refined machines mankind has ever made that literally have to be accurate to within nano meters in making electronic chips use regular power cables. These are $500M machines, look up the power suppl... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@knownothing My argument was just called a name it wasn't dealt with as you say. My argument is that you can't get more information out of the recording than the original. I recorded original recording for 35 years I've been to the Oscars and Emmy... 
Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged?
PS Audio BHK 300s are really musical as well as the BHK Preamp, when I change any of these components my system it looses all its magic, the PS Audio components are noisy and it drives me crazy but no other amps or preamps make me so happy. The BH... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@hilde45  There are exceptions to the "can't add information" rule such as speakers. There are very few studios that use speakers over $50k there are good reasons for that but as far as audiophiles that commonly use speakers over 50k they may be ...
