Good Lord, you say cables don't make a difference?

Are you fucking kidding me? Try listening for a change.

Wire World -vs- MIT? Review forthcoming but damn. If you can't tell a difference? Get the hell out of this hobby. All aspects with just one cable. This go'round between the CD and the preamplifier. I really do not understand how some folks can not hear any change. It really does boggle my mind.
In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

"Still, we bet people still fall for the hype -- oh hey, if you're looking for the ultimate in sound, we've got half a meter of oxygen-free, triple-wrapped double-insulated Sonically Shielded AmpliSized Egyptian Llama cable here that we'll part ways with for just a couple grand." #-o :lol: :lol:

Re: Good Lord, you say cables don't make a difference?

I'm just trying to stoke the fire!! :D There probably isn't much difference between the monster cable and coat hangers though! :lol: :lol: I did notice a very nice change with my MIT speaker cables! :D

Re: Good Lord, you say cables don't make a difference?

It may be the little box of electronic "gizmos" on the cable??? They just seem to provide a bit more detail for some reason....

Re: Good Lord, you say cables don't make a difference?

Yes cables make a can make huge difference. Especially between the preamp and amp where the whole system can benefit.
