To All Cable Deniers, 1 Very Simple Question.

@audphile1 “…AI to augment….”

That’s a valid assessment. AI can lead you in a certain direction, maybe suggest. The times l have bothered to read AI generated reports, l only ever take the information as a generalised simplified overview…. nothing more.

Yep I like to use all resources available to me. Besides it’s cool to see how AI evolves. 

I'm not trying to convince anyone, one way or the other; but I do believe in cable and connector improvement......to a point. Either way, it is easy (and cheap enough) to find out for oneself.

Buy a nice 5' piece of high quality power cable, VHAudio carries excellent bulk cable from Furutech, Neotech, Oyaide....at competitive prices. DHLabs also has nice bulk cable.

Buy connectors with different plating (Silver, Rhodium, Copper, Gold), from someone like SonarQuest; who make excellent power plugs with all 4 platings. Make a cable, interchange the plugs, see if it makes a difference in your mind or not. I did, and there are definitely differences.....some I liked, and some I did not. For example, I much prefer Silver plating over Rhodium for a more detailed presentation.

@mashif The fact that one cannot hear differences between cables is not evidence that there is no difference. It's evidence that a given individual cannot hear the difference. 

I tend to agree, and already see it in myself over the course of the past two years.  Sure, I still like to think I can hear differences, at least with interconnects and speaker cable changes, yet I notice I'm not as good at hearing notable differences compared to 5-10 years ago.  The good news is, I have no new desire to change cables any more just to try them, and this is a benefit too, and so there we go.  

Wait as a surgeon I use ai every time. My brain after every night on call during residency has because a computer with high grade database. No computer has lasted 49 plus years with a high bod rate and this much storage. I have to laugh when doctors have to use ai to improve thier performance. We had a real cadaver a whole room full not a computer and 3d goggles. Happy listening.
