I don’t use cables any moreSo, the signal from your Walkman to headphones is via Bluetooth?
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Funny, after all these years, people still say things like "you wasted all that money on cables".
There are still those who believe cables don't make a difference.
I once did marketing for a cable line I consider to be about the best-Stealth Audio Cables.
One CES, I walked the rooms with the designer/owner, Serguei Timachev. He carried a pair of his then new Indra interconnects. Going from room to room he asked the room runners to replace their source to preamp IC with the Indra. There was not one that was not completely flabbergasted and said that the Indras blew away what they were using. That was the skyrocketing of Indra and Stealth. The Indra became one of the best reviewed cables ever.
Serguei now makes the Sakra-an IC that blows away the Indra!
I don't understand why some still do not value cables as much as I.

Considering the many feet of run-of-the-mill OFC copper wire inside of the electronics in a given system, it is surprising that connecting cables could have the profound effect that many report. The main difference between connecting cables and the wire inside of the electronics is susceptibility to EMI and RFI, which can be largely mitigated through geometry and shielding, both of which are inexpensive to implement. Keeping
electronics
close together and close to the power source helps since the LCR parameters increase with length. If you are an "audiophile" for heaven's sake never look at the hook-up wire inside of your speakers. Manufacturers have been making great sounding gear and speakers for years without using break-the-bank exotic wire. The amount of time and money spent "evaluating" cables is nothing short of amazing. That so many believe the slightly perceptible differences heard between different cables can actually "transform" the sound of their systems is a glowing testament to the power of the illusory truth effect as well as the genius of the collective marketing teams for well-known cable manufacturers - kudos to them! |
Wow, you folks are really working overtime here so you probably need a break. This seems like a perfect time to revisit my question about: What do people who don’t worry about cables have in common with the people of Finland?Answer: They are (both) the happiest people in the world! https://worldhappiness.report/news/its-a-three-peat-finland-keeps-top-spot-as-happiest-country-in-world/ |
