WHY CABLES MATTER!


I have seen the argument over and over again on why cables matter and the that wire is just wire and how scientifically it’s impossible for them to make a difference. The thing that surprises me the most is that different materials are used. Different shielding is used. Different connectors are used. Different braiding methods of the cables are used. Materials are sourced from different manufacturers and put through different creative processes but I always get some guy who comes on and says. WIRE IS WIRE AND YOU ARE NOT HEARING WHAT YOU ARE HEARING? To me it’s pure arrogance to think you know more than everybody else to the point where you tell me what we are hearing through my ears and we are not smart enough to know when are minds are playing trick on us. But using all these different materials, process and shielding and creative processes don’t make a difference. I spent the last 15 years trying all the cables I could try.  Thoughts anyone?

Your confirmation biased opinions are not relevant, and don't change science. In a blind test you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a snake oil $1,000 cable and a coat hanger. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Anyone who says otherwise is perpetuating what's wrong with this hobby and industry.

@squared80 thanks  for telling us what we are and are not hearing. I’ve had confirmation bias the last 20 years I guess. Lol 😂.  All of us cable believers are just not hearing things or are we hearing things. 

I fully believe you truly think you're hearing a difference when there actuslly is no difference at all. The brain is a powerful thing. Enjoy.

@squared80 the brain is a powerful thing sir. I encourage people to trust their own brain.  To trust their own ears.  I think they should do that or trust someone off the internet who hasn’t heard or who will never hear their system. If they are using their brain like you said I think that makes sense to them.
