Interconnects and non-believers


For anyone who denies there are differences in cables, I have news for you.
There are vast differences.  I just switched interconnects between my CD transport (Cyrus) and DAC (Schiit Gumby), and the result was transformational.  Every possible parameter was improved: better definition, better soundstaging,  better bass, better depth etc.
I can’t understand how any audiophile with ears can deny the differences.  Is it delusion or dogma?

Ok, accepting for the moment that the cable cultists are correct, then they rightly should pursue the logic of their argument to its penultimate end:

Japanese audiophile goes to the extreme

the ultimate end, of course, would be to build your own private power station, preferably in your back yard to minimize the risk of unwanted radiation entering transition lines.

One thing I've found about interconnect cables is you have to be patient through the "break in period". The improvement in sound quality won't be instantaneous but rather a gradual change. Maybe cable manufacturers could find a way to precondition their products before shipping.


Well, if you believe cables need to "break in," have I got a product for you!

I hear the same logic from used car salesman: “the car isn’t running as well as it should? Hey dude, c’mon, give it some time to break in!!!”

GroverHuffman cables require a break-in period of no less than 15 hours. He won’t audition a design until it is broken-in. I usually cook them for over a day prior to listening to them (listening to his unbroken-in cables one tends to hear dynamically and frequency constricted sound, often bright). Speakers need breaking in, capacitors need breaking-in, cartridges need breaking-in, who doesn’t believe that? So do other components mechanical and electrical.

To achieve power purity, where I live in California, all one has to do is install a solar or wind generation system with adequate battery storage, adequate to get off the grid. Much cheaper than a power plant but more than the Japanese enthusiast who hooked up to the utility pole (which could be sending contaminated power anyway).
