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?

@samureyex and what do you think about all this? Got anything to add? |
Hello All! Do cables make a difference? Here's an inepensive mental exercise: Would using doorbell wire (20 gauge twisted pair, solid conductots) as speaker wire result in inferior sound? Compared to what, you ask? Compared to 14 gauge zip cord from the hardware store. If your answer is NO, the speakers would sound the same with either wire, Happy listening! Don't waste you time reading the claims of "believers." If your answer is: "The heavier wire would sound better." The you are a "believer." Good wire doesn't have to be pricey. Parts is selling wire Kimber Cable used to sell for big bucks for only $2 a foot. I highly recommend it. I've used it on Martin Logan electrostats and Magnepans, and cone low and mids and ribbon tweeter systems. Improvements every time. At 65 cents a foot, the flat 50 concuctor cable made for computer mainframes sounds quite good. Use every odd numbered conductor for + and the even numbered conductors for -. Incidently, if you have more than one pair of cables, parallel them (if you connecters allow) and use both at the same time. You will be surprised. Happy Listening!. |

bigtwin Everyone has access to AI. Everyone has access to Google too. Do you copy and paste pages of Google search results on forums? Hopefully not. Folks who care about AI’s opinion of cables have already asked. Folks who haven’t asked, don’t care. Pasting AI results in forums adds no value and clutters threads.
