The Whole Thing Is A Fraud: High-End Cables
 

Like anything in this hobby there is the rule of diminishing returns. Do cables make a difference? Without question. Are the MIT cables Ivan was playing with that are 30k better than Wireworld Silver eclipse? I’m sure they are, but most likely not worth 10x the cost.

I switched from “better cables” brand speaker wires, to wireworld silver eclipse and there was a very noticeable difference. When my kids and wife, who seldom know I’m making a change comment on the sound, I know it’s not all in my head.

I actually wound up returning the MIT's as we all agreed the WW Platinum's sounded better to our ears.

With the really high-end gear we all buy diminishing returns kick in. But to call wires a fraud is a pretty bold statement by the Op.

When I upgraded to WW silvers my wife noticed a big difference. And I got a similar reaction to the stillpoints. ... but maybe to Op thinks those are a fraud too [emoji849]

:lmao:

Well I've gone from the very expensive Nordost Valhalla analogue and digital interconnects to the moderately priced Kimber Kable interconnects and no one could hear. a lick of difference.

Switched back and forth 3 times. Just saying.

Actually if this is the thesis one can simply ignore the rest.

Regardless of your opinion of cables, if there is one thing the audiophile wire industry is tapped into, it is the market. In fact the "entire cables are a scam" crowd constantly well overestimates their understanding of the market.

Round and round we go................. AGAIN. Not sure why people continue to debate this. The right answer is what ever the individual spending the money, or not spending the money, thinks it is.

Amen

Cable haters love to :stirthepot: and also love :beatinghorse:. We should all just enjoy the :music:.
