To All Cable Deniers, 1 Very Simple Question.


There are people coming into cable threads and saying all cables sound identical. So I have 1 question for y'all.

Today, it is about power cords.

The end-plug, the metal part, the one you plug into the wall outlet. Without knowing the % of copper in the plug of your basic cable, can you absolutely certain say it sounds identical to a plug with 98% copper?

How about 60% copper plug vs 98% copper? Identical?

40% copper, Identical?

20% copper, Identical?

0% copper, Identical?

To wrap up, the question is very simple. If the copper % is different, would the 2 plugs still sound the same?

A bonus question, if a plug is 60% gold, will it sound identical vs a 98% copper?

One more thing that I will bring up @kofibaffour that you will most likely dismiss is that blind testing of anything in someone else’s system you’re not familiar enough with is not a good data sample no matter how many people were involved in the experiment. I know for a fact that it is super unlikely that I could pick out differences in cables in your or anyone else’s system. Blind folded or not. I will need at least several hours of absolute quiet and uninterrupted listening. With this I conclude my contribution to this useless thread

Oy vay!  Yeah right  it’s us versus them even with wires.  Believe or deny!!!!  Or else what?  

Perhaps truth lives somewhere in between?

Keep trying and we will all figure it out eventually. Some sooner than others. 

@bigtwin I caught some nasty virus that feels like covid but doesn’t get registered by my old expired home covid test. Do covid tests matter? Did anyone compare them to see which one sounds best? Lol

Just now recovering and heading to the gym and will start on stretches next week.

We got the battle of AIs going here….what could possibly be more entertaining? Hehehe (asked Gemini to create the boxing match image below)


 

cable atheist here: every penny I would have put in cables (100s of dollars) I have invested in speakers, amplifiers, DACs, turntables and cartridges. The day I pay more than a 100 dollars for a cable is when I need to get not my hearing but my brain checked.
