The notion of audio cables as components has become better realized over the years. Audio cables were once considered no more important than audio accessories, with little credibility in terms of the value of audio cables as a vital element within the signal chain. A good analogy is to compare the nature of an audio cable to that of an audio capacitor, with sonic characteristics many folks can identify as beneficial to the presentation of a component and/or the gestalt of an audio system. If one finds different audio capacitors provide sonic betterment within a system, all the more important a cable is to provide the fundamental link with great responsibility to deliver high performance signal integrity from one component to another. Even if some folks don't believe in the sonic benefits of high performance cables, it's commonly understood that an audio system is only as good as its weakest link.
