Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables


I was given a pair of premium quality speaker cables but they’re about 1ft short on each side and there’s no way to change it. If I added an extra 1ft of cheaper cable would it defeat the purpose?

I don't think that knowing there is better sounding gear out there, that we can't or won't afford, detracts at all from our enjoyment of what we have...

You’re right - just knowing about it does not. But if we found ourselves in a headspace where we want it and we need it and we have to have it, yet we can’t, then it can negatively affect our enjoyment.

I am clearly very far from the point where I might feel that my system won’t be complete without that last amazing accessory. And if I’m being honest, part of the reason I’m posting this is because I don’t want to get there.

 

 

I’ve been on the sidelines for sometime just reading comments like this and staying away not making any  contributions in the forum. Have held back up until a couple of weeks ago. Also my writing is not the best so some guy is going to let it be known.  So I join and here I am………

Have not read these comments for days and then get back to it tonight. It’s like I just walked into a bar room with stools flying everywhere along with glass hitting the walls. Some of you guys just get into a bar room fight because they have been slighted. Then the calm cool collective guy jumps in and goes at it too and all the negative comments keep coming. We know who the a******s are. Just let them be. Do not slight them. They’re not leaving the bar so just do the best you can without jumping back again. Suck it up.  Just do not look their way. Enjoy the jukebox.

I think with troll threads like this, people join in for fun/sport as we all know this is not a serious discussion/debate… no opinions will be changed…their are hundreds of identical threads with thousands of responses over decades…
