I am sick of cables


I have owned cables like Nordost Valhalla, Purist Audio 20th anniversary, Acoustic Zen Silver Reference, Virtual Dynamics Revelation, Argento Serenity. I have also auditioned cables like stealth indra in my system.

All I can say is that I am sick of cables, don't want to talk about them, audition them, not even see them....lol

Right now I have found a great combination of less expensive cables than the above which are perfect with MY equipment.

I was wondering why studios that record the music we are listening are not using super expensive cables...

In my humble opinion IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE AFTER, the most expensive cables are not necessarily better...

I said it, now I feel better...

Well let me tell you about my experience. I had bought this 2 way speaker system for my my DIY SET Amp and thought I should pry under the hood and see what cables are being used inside this fast very transparent speaker and to my amazement this small very thin solid core wire almost looked like CAT individual wires. Each wire only looked like 28 to 30 gauge and it got me thinking alot about the utter speed of this speaker and its opened fast quality.Lets try an experiment I thought. Lets continue this downstream and apply this principal to the speaker cable as well. So I happened to have laying around an old Kimber 4 PR Kabel I was not using anymore. I debraded the brown and black wires and used only one black wire on the negative terminal and one brown wire on the positive and HOLY COW BATMAN AND ROBIN what a sound improvement had I just done. The high frequency extension was mind boggling.
I could hear air billowing out from everywhere and I could easily follow the attack and release of a triangle unlike anything I ever heard short of live.
The sound stage became huge and vast. I wish I could write a diagram of what I had heard the before and after affects of this. The last time I EVER HEARD ANYTHING REMOTELY TO THIS IS when I listened to a Goldmund Reference 80K Turntable several years ago.
Well I hope this gets posted and give u all something to think about.
So IMHO Less IS more.
Happy Listening
