What's been your turntable ownership over the years?
I was raised on radio and records.  When the CD and digital music came about in the early to mid 80s, I went forward with that and never looked back.  I get that the turntable and records can, together, can constitute a musical experience (especia... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Ha!  Ought to save some of that KY for all the folks who bought 4K TVs thinking that they could actually see a difference in resolution at their normal seating distances.

Thanks for the reply, kn.  Absolutely concur that if you cannot hear/perceive a positive difference, money is better spent elsewhere.Best, Bill

Exactly!  People who complain about these type threads can easily enough just "opt out" and unfollow any particular discussion.  But they don't.  They just complain, I suspect, just to demonstrate how "above this" they are.  Funny. 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
NoNoise....significant "differences" are moot.  What is important is whether there are significant "improvements."  Science says overpriced cables are just that.  Over priced, pretty, sparkly, fat, colorful and interesting...just not accoustically... 
whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money
Geoff.....Geoff....really?  Your usual posts, though I typically disagree with them, are usually polite, well written and of some use.  This one above is just an attempt to suggest that vtvmtodvm's opinion, which you quote at length, is elementary... 
whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money
vtvjmtodvmn: thanks for some actual engineering science for a change.  I get so tired of the repetitive "hearing perception" BS of, for example, how "natural, transparent and eye-opening my music sounded with the new $2500.00 power cord."  That sa...

Ctsooner: read your post and, unfortunately, find noting there that merits further response from me.  Sorry. 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
kn: Thanks for the polite, well written explanation of how you view the efficacy of "expensive" audio cables.  I should have responded sooner but have been tied up with a whole list of distractions.I think my overall point of view is that I've per... 
Can upgraded power cords help my setup?
Upgrade your table lamps with new PCs.  You will not believe the difference in luminance, clarity and dramatically enhanced visuality.  I even added a $2000 PC to my refrigerator.  Holy Crap.  Saves on power consumption, and stuff stays colder lon...

Expensive cables fix fabricated problems.  Even cable manufactures do not and cannot scientifically explain what their cables are designed to do.  They make over designed, visually attractive cables that perform no audio or acoustic function beyon...

geoff:  settle down, my friend, no one is putting words in your mouth.  I was just attempting to clarify your vague reference to the benefit of more expensive cables.cleeds....no need for name calling;  though we had gotten past that.  If you beli... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Well, geoff, are you saying that cables actually and actively "change" the audio signal.  Who would want that?  Good audio equipment should neither add nor take away anything from the audio signal.  If you want to modify the sound coming from your... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Assuming that exotic cables do, in fact, cancel out or mitigate external influences that distort or otherwise modify pure audio signal transmission, it would seem that the more expensive your system, the less you would need  cables and other inter... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
stfoth: Well said and I pretty much agree with everything in your post. Have I purchased things that are more "showy" than they are functional? Sure I have. Would I pay a bit more for "pretty" cables just because they looked cool? Yep...as long as...
