I watched a video i think it was audioholics and he was in high tech before he worked there.he had alot of measuring equipment that was costly. His overall was good quality copper and insulation just the basics not the 100k cable.by the way I have a bunch for sale at 100k but no returns.😄 all the way to the bank. The other video was how electrons travel slow but mostly the field along around the wire.physics is cool. I make alot of my own wires and maybe I'm biased cuz i make it myself but I don't mine the copper. Enjoy the music stay healthy take your vitamins.
audiophile folklore - cables and claims from manufacturers
The cable debate.
Cables make a difference, sure.
But SHOULD they?
I have been grappling with this question for the better part of 20 years!
Fanatical claims from manufacturers, talking about how their cables will improve your system in specific ways, sonically.
More accurate bass, cleaner midrange sounds, treble resolution... etc. soundstage and imaging, you get the idea.
The fundamental disconnect is - they have never heard YOUR system!
So then, how do they know what their cables will sound like in your system. Not to mention, astronomical prices on some of these interconnects. The wilder the claims, the higher the cost.
The behavior we should be looking for is passing on the signal, with as little losses as possible. That can be done relatively cheaply, with well made professional interconnects that cost less than 100 dollars in most cases.
If you could build an audio system (all of it) from thrift store finds and cables really did make that much of a difference, then wouldn’t the sound quality scale that way?
It seems many audiophiles I know are in denial. And even worse, some use cables as TONE controls! This is where audiophoolery becomes a religion. Audio dealers promote it, because it impacts their bottom line!
