Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?


Audioholics will be doing another video on this at 4pm (I assume Eastern), today. Rather than comment on it after the fact, some here might want to jump into the live comments thread? Anyway, in case that’s you, here’s the link:https://youtu.be/kR12Ttuxobs

If you think very expensive esoteric cables with all kinds of filters is better than pure copper 10-14 gauge wire, you need better software to listen to. The most "transparent" line level interconnect wire/cable is RG-6 coax for RCA style...you can even get compression fit RCA connectors for coax cable. For balance cable, good quality Canare Star Quad GS-4 or an equivalent Mogami or Belden is just fine, 21-22 gauge wires. 

RG-6 is about 10-15 cents a foot. The balanced professional grade stuff is $1-$2 foot preterminated with XLRs

Cables are not and should not be tone controls. That's what tone controls are for.
