This is my sermon on cables, and I'd like to start by saying that I don't intend this to sound like a ultimatum on cables (you're gunna burn!), but it's my thoughts on the subject.
I build my own cables, and I will not tell anyone that I believe they sound any different from a Pear Audio cable or a Double Helix, because I'm a non believer and I swear I won't bring up DBT... I build them because they're bomb proof and good looking, and I think this is how people should buy cables. Before my indoctrination into the world of audiophilla, I burned through cables, because I would step on them, tangle them, and just abuse them. When I realized I could build my own cables, I realized I could build a cable that would last a lifetime, and so I get silver teflon wire, because it's the easiest to work with, and I tech flex them and I use Switchcraft plugs because they're built for thermonuclear war. And it's just nice to have a good, heavy looking cloth covered cable. So here's my point: I think we should treat cables like nice hard bound books; the story is no different, but they look and feel better and last longer.
