when I run out of space for 100K speakers, I buy 10K cables.
A fresh approach to cable analysis
Here’s an interesting idea that I wish someone would do. Start a YouTube channel in which you take full range of power cords, interconnects, and speaker wire ranging from cheap to top-of-the-line and carefully dissect them and expose how they are constructed and with what. In the past, we have been through all the arguments about measurements and subjective evaluation, and that gets us nowhere. I think, looking at the physical construction of these chords, which I assume almost no one ever does, especially on the more expensive ones, would produce some surprising results and really be hard to argue with. I’m sure manufacturers would hate this idea, but I don’t think there’s any way legally that they could challenge it.

There is ample reason to be skeptical of cable claims. Common sense tells us this if we listen. We are all familiar with the extreme claims of some that make little sense. As was said before, double blind testing assumes an audible and instantaneous difference between cables. It doesn’t work that way. It takes hours of listening to music familiar to me to understand evaluate and appreciate the differences. |
gdaddy1, machines that take measurements only tell part of the story. They cannot tell you the level of musicality or the enjoyment level you may experience. There are many audio pieces/cables that measure terrible but sound spectacular. All I know is that when I change my cables the difference is not Suttle but quite substantial. This is not always based on cost. |
OP...Try this link https://shunyata.com/technology/ Do you hear differences in different audio cables? |
