Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?


Audioholics will be doing another video on this at 4pm (I assume Eastern), today. Rather than comment on it after the fact, some here might want to jump into the live comments thread? Anyway, in case that’s you, here’s the link:https://youtu.be/kR12Ttuxobs

Old chestnuts never die, they just return in the Eternal Cycle of Re-roasting....

Speaker cables, or any audio cables for that matter are not supposed to "make a difference." Point A to Point B. Shorter cables are best if you can.

My brand of choice is Furutech because all of their products are subject to excellent quality control.

The cable argument is valid because people spend a lot of money on cables. After spending all that money, you are expecting your system to sound better. So it will - to you.


@akg_ca I was certainly not starting yet another debate about cables. If you look at my original post you will see that I was alerting members that there was a video about cables on another channel about to happen. I presented that information in case anyone wanted to debate people on a different site. Many people here have a good arguments and good experience with cables and it is possible that they might inform people who might be misinformed by Gene. So if you think that is trolling then I really don’t think you understand why I posted what I did. Perhaps you think that what Gene does is trolling? If that is what you meant then I misunderstood what you said — and my apologies.
If you want to know why they sound different maybe delve into the science. Read the blog or listen to the long video. It's not as amusing as arguing though:-)

This guy "Gene" from "Audioholics" according to his web page is an audio salesman who charges $100USD/hour for his services so it it clear, apparent, and obvious that he is just trying to sell stuff and at a very high price for his services so maybe that is why he promotes cheap components because it keeps the customers costs down because he has to add in his fee.
