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.

glupson....they know who they are and I know who they are. I directed my comment to them. You need to know their posting habits to get my comment, which is made out of playful respect to them. There is sufficient info here on the forum threads and on the main Audiogon (and internet) to figure out the identities of these mysterious contributors.  Lol

Zavfino cables

“Drawing on more than 18 years of manufacturing experience, Zavfino has developed a remarkable new technique for twisting stranded wire tightly around a central solid-core conductor. An electrical phenomenon is commonly known as the “skin effect” occurs when electrons move through any solid core conductor. Higher frequencies travel along the outside (the skin) of the conductor faster than midrange and lower echelon frequencies. This results in smeared PRaT, muddled instrumental timbres, and an unnatural sound. Zavfino’s new H-Wound™ manufacturing technique negates the skin effect.”

>>>>>That’s rarher odd. You know, since electrons don’t actually move through solid core conductors or any conductor. They are, for all practical purposes, stationary. Having said that, just going on the photos of the Graphene Gold Rush Tonearm cables, I want some.
