Now you know of one. Cables are totally irrelevant to audio performance so long as they meet certain basic performance requirements. You can buy cables in that category for a few dollars a foot (monoprice is a good source, or bluejeans). That fact has been born out in countless controlled listening tests. Furthermore we understand electrical circuits rather well, which allows us to predict the difference between cables based on their parameters, and we also know (at least roughly) what the thresholds of human hearing are. Putting that basic knowledge together shows that expensive cables are totally unnecessary, and that the differences people report are psychological rather than audible. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44124 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
