That strikes me that the cable believers they are that because they have heard the difference.
The cable nay sayers have not heard the difference in cables.
Both are right but why?
I have been in countless of hi-fi shows there I have attended cable demonstrations. Of power cable and also another with speaker cables. (I did learn that there is apparently shielded speaker cables..)
So the prof is in the pudding. 🎵
But if we try to eat the pudding in an environment like under water in the ocean. We would all think that different puddings taste the same (salty water). But in air the taste difference is there clearly. And it is the same puddings that we tasted under water.
The same goes for the smaller impacts like amps, speakers, source and so on. But the bigger percentage impact is the environment like the acoustic properties of the room. That is ~≥50% of the sound! So it is not ONLY the brain and ear auditorium that differs on us all it is also we have different opinions on exactly the same gears.
But those that has had all the stars aligned with the right treated room, resolving gear, sonically divergent cables and so on. Has heard a difference in cables are cables believers. We hear like in this thread nay sayers going to believing in cables. But we seldom hear the other way around.
Yes, we (believers) have also heard no differences in many cases. But if that were the room, system, sonically same cables that were compared.. But I have also in fact put in in my system many years ago a pair of RCA cables that on paper should be okay with the right "bells and whistles". I was so disappointed that I took a scissor and destroyed them immediately so that nobody else/I should be using them by mistake in the future. (You know when you hook up a new peace of gear and you reach for RCA cables at hand.. I did not want to risk to take that pair!)
Why should manufacturer make A and B comparisons in high end shows for audiophiles. If there were no differences? Would they cheat and put the whole company at risk?
