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

Being perfectly happy with basic cables like @sheridanmartinj is ... perfectly fine. It’s up to the hobbyists to decide how far they want to go with the hobby, and how many things (like cables, or other stuff) to try to optimize their system. It’s a hobby after all. It’s perfectly fine to try nothing. What it’s not fine IMO is going out and about in public proclaiming nothing makes a difference, and telling people what to buy and not buy, solely based on this very LACK of hands on experience. That is what many people do, and it baffles me

As long as there are people who get sucked into spending ridiculous money on speaker cables this topic will survive and it is only one such topic in audiophilia. Manufacturers appeal to lay instinct and generate myths by the dozens. Everyone would be best served by spending this money on better speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers. 

If you really want to get down with speaker wire read Waldo Nell's, "The Real Science Behind Speaker Wires." This Audioholics video is dumbed down quite a bit. It is however applicable to both two channel and theater people. I also agree with him on Kimber Kable. If you want the best speaker wire at a very reasonable price get together with some other philes and buy a 50 foot roll then split it up. You will have to terminate it yourself but that is not at all hard to do.

Thank God for good Samaritans like you out there who are watching over poor souls being sucked into spending THEIR money 🙄

I use lamp cord for best sound (HO HO).

As long that there will be "skeptic fad" shutting down their own ears in the name of their conception of "science", conflating the virtual snake oil price of cable in some case with their real different qualities; there will be thread were customers discussing their bad or good experiences will receive the useless " lessons" of these pseudo "sunday scientist" who will claim that cables made no differences at all ,which is false, instead of saying the truth: cables are way more too costly in many cases for the differences they made...

But all brains are not able to treat 2 flows of information flowing in opposite direction for sure....

It is "always the same topic in audiophilia" some are too enlightened from their interpretation of "science" to even experiment anything by themselves, anyway ears are very overestimated in music perception they say....They blind test themselves to know if their electronic  equalizer is working....

Is it not stupidity peaking?
