the thing is some of these companies are playing with capacitance and resistance and impedance. if they are doing that it can make a slight difference. if they did it to the point that it made a large difference most likely what you would have a is a huge degradation in sound quality!
i just like to "imagine" the cables do something. just like a sane adult may adore santa but knows the real truth. if the adult felt otherwise they would be considered to have a phycological issue. my background is based in science but i enjoy certain myths as well.
no one can say i am wrong for choosing to feel and spend my own money this way.
those of you that are confident that they scientifically make a difference when they are within proper specification are entitled to your opinion as well. however true science would suggest otherwise!
i am not being a cable "hater" i love cables as i have said many times. i just happen to know whats up as well. i think that is the best way to aproach it. many people are seperated from their money with very misleading practices.
i will also state that "placebo" is a science in and of itself. so in that realm the claims are completely legitimate. whether you care to realise this or not is up to you.
there are measurable differences in cables with a simple dmm. as, i said unless they are way out of spec those differences do not translate into different sonic properties within an audio system.
i still wish to feel they do. i just enjoy them. anyone else that enjoys cables for whatever reason they base their findings on are perfectly welcome to do so.
there are a lot worse things you can be spending money on and playing with.
there is no reason to argue this. with me at least. i know the truth. i see fit to find otherwise.
why then did i start a post asking what i did? well, i wanted to know peoples opinions thats all. copper conducts more than good enough. silver conducts better. that is based in science. does it make a sonic difference in cables of an audio system? that is up to you for whatever reason you base your findings. i simply wished to know what other people felt. i did not even ask them to state a reason for their feelings!
