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?

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.  

Cables are like politics: there are very, very few people with whom you can have an intelligent conversation. Usually it’s not even worth trying. They used to say it’s lonely being at the top, nowadays it’s lonely being at the center.
