I don't remember who the first cable company was but my first high-end cable was a pair of speaker cable from Mark Levinson in the late 70's. The main design concern at that time was to minimize skin effect and resistance. So the Mark Levinson cable was very thick and was made up of thousands of very fine pure copper wires.
Cables - When Did it All Start?
OK, here we go...
This is not another "I just installed cable X and the soundstage and microdynamics just shot through the roof..." or "What cables do you guys recommend for..." but a simple question. When did people start noticing that different cables in audio gear apparently sound different? Or another related question, who was the first cable company to offer different "audiophile" cables?
I do not have golden ears and with two children constantly chirping in the foreground/background I can barely hear the music most times anyway, thus I really have no practical experience if cables make a difference.
Regards,
