Your Hi End Audio Cables.


I post this as a Discussion Piece not as any proof or Mockery. This Gentleman  Is a 20 Year Mastering Engineer from the UK. His videos sometimes are highly technical. This one caught my attention.

I know many of you have hi end cables and I'm sure they provide what you expected. Please watch the entire video which is fairly short and comment if you'd Like. 

This is just the "B" side of the discussion. Please don't shoot the messenger. I post this as a Technical Item.

Thank You  :Mark

To keep it in context I found this video most entertaining.  I viewed it as sort of a “tongue in cheek” dry wit presentation and appreciated it from an entertainment perspective. 
Enjoy the music. 

"@hilde45 Finally, system context matters. Some cable differences are audible with certain amp-preamp combinations and inaudible with others. The video assumes all cables behave the same in all systems. They don’t."

I've been testing and comparing this topic lately myself using the same tube preamp connected to two different amplifiers in rotation back and forth. 

The SS Class A stereo amp is 75k ohms input impedance. The tube mono block amps are 100k ohms input impedance. Totally different types/amps of course.   

I can change to other RCA cables on the SS amp to make it sound more like the tube amps but both amps do not sound similar with the same RCA cables fwiw.

 

Interesting Responses,

If you listen at the end of his video, he asked for comments from the viewers on this topic. It might be time for some feedback to him from Experts here with High End Equipment and cables and maybe share your knowledge so others who read the comments might learn from you.

Just saying. As for myself I have no experience with high end cables. I do have I end SS gear. 

 

Just My $.02 Worth.

Well, it is hard not to assume this  wasn't for fun. As you point out, he did go to school. 

I do have decades of experience with high end cables. So, I laughed heartily at the video.

I guess my bar for "fun" is a bit higher than hackneyed trolling about cables.
