Audiophile speaker cables make me angry

So when you get an audio set up like the ones folks like Paul have (like super clear and resolving and hyper expensive) do you think better cables will make a significant difference or would it still be in the realm of slight variations/psycho acoustics

Please no fire hazards!
The only thing inline in cables that is allowed is ferrite rings.

Lol, thanks for the warning, I was just saying that something like that would actually do something, even if it wasn’t something you wanted lol

I think it would make an audible difference, but I would assume you would hit limits with 500 usd cables, and getting higher quality more expensive then that would not yield an improvement

At that level though the cables erode with each use, basically have 1000 listening sessions and the negative ions begin to dissipate and you wind up having to buy a new pair of cables. :unicorn:

Sorry I meant usd as in money lol fixed it

Your typo gave me the marketing idea. I’m surprised no one has ever thought of it before.

Well for pro cables, durability and how many uses and the condition they can withstand is pretty important, but it’s not really thought about much in the consumer realm

Edit: I am dumb again, yes cables that only for for a certain period of time is a great marketing idea. You could make a cable that has a chemical that causes the cable to degrade after being in open air for a certain period of time and then they have to get a new one. Just claim the chemical is very rare and enhances music quality, but needs to be replaced every few months

The non-biodegradable version is made from marble like the Sennheiser Orpheus headphones, comes with audiophile rocks made from the same rock to suspend your biodegradable cables.

Ok ok ok that’s enough

There are proper power conditioners for the task. Furman beeing the most common.

Yes, I understand lol. Personally if I were to buy something it would be an ac regenerator

Rather than start a new thread I was hoping that I could get some assistance… Looking for 10-12 foot speaker cables (Maggie LRS speakers) in the sub $250 level although I’m fine going plenty lower. I’m looking at the following:

BJC “Canare”

World’s best cables " Mogami"

Audioquest Rockets

Kimber TC4:

Anyway I see Canare, Mogami, Rockets, and Kimber thrown around alot just have no clue on what really is quality and what is fluff. I’m not interested in DIY hack stuff and want an affordable quality finished product.

If you have your eye on Kimber stuff, I would recommend visiting their eBay store. They sell their demo stuff at a discount.

Not meant to make anybody angry but look how thick Monster is compared with regular Cordial.
It is a Monster! :heart_eyes:


Thick and weighty beast!

Have to wait little more to hook these beast’s back to use.
The XLR connector makes a “click” noise when connecting, nice to know they really are locked now.
Now someone can get upset. :crazy_face:
