RE: Why use fancy speaker cable

From my personal experience, I've came to the following conclusions:

1. I'm still not sure if there are scientific explanations related to the sound of a cable. But there is a subjective difference between each.

2. Expensive doesn't always mean better. I've listened to $$$$ cables beaten by some $$$ and $$$ t beaten by $$ cables. There are two reasons I can think of:
-the market is full of mediocre stuff and BS, the people who really know how to make stuff are rare
-every cable has a particular sound signature and it must be matched the the following system.

3. Each cable has burn-in time. Many cables have directionality. With this sentence I've already started another flame topic.

4. The sound of a cable is also influenced by its mechanical resonances. I've analyzed this by dampening/undampening a speaker cable with various materials.

5. Listen with your own ears before buying. Or buy cables with a money-back option. Try to listen to cables of the same price domain to choose the best.
