DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?

Yes they do.  I’m not here to advocate for any particular brand but I’ve heard a lot and they do matter. High Fidelity reveal cables, Kubala Sosna Elation and Clarity Cable Natural. I’m having a listening session where all of them is doing a great job. I’ve had cables that were cheaper in my system but a nicely priced cable that matches your system is a must.  I’m not here to argue what I’m not hearing because I have a pretty good ear.  I’m enjoying these three brands today and each is presenting the music differently but very nicely. Those who say cables don’t matter. Get your ears checked.  I have a system that’s worth about 30 to 35k retail.  Now all of these brands are above 1k and up but they really are performing! What are your thoughts.

Absolutely, but there are a plethora of really good cables.  You do not have to spend stratosphere money.

Of course cables matter. The argument should never be debated with the premise of "regular vs high priced" cables. That's a fool's errand.
Just a look at what there is to offer in your price range will reveal sonic differences.

Set your parameters and have at it. Trust your ears.

All the best,

Of course cables matter. How else would the signal travel? Bluetooth? Wi-Fi? 

Failing that a straightened coat hanger will do just as well as blind listening tests prove.

Me, I'm happy with decent budget OFC off Amazon. As most of the world's recording studios are.

How else can the signal travel? Has anyone considered Quantum Teleportation?

Anyway to my serious posters. I’m happy with the cables I have now. I just wanted to hear different ones in my system.  There is always costs benefit trade offs. There are those that can afford and are willing to go to the stratosphere. Best sound at all costs.  But for some who have highly resolving systems it’s worth every dime. If you can’t hear the difference clean you ears
