In Reply to: Danger of 'too much' upgrade: some recordings once OK, now just plain suck. posted by Smelly_Socks on September 30, 2016 at 04:17:46:
to tame bright audiophile speakers. At the end of the day, you have copper wire running from one thing to another. If the expensive cables had the same capacitance, inductance and resistance as cheap cables, you could not hear the difference. I once borrowed a really expensive phono interconnect and came to your same dilemma. I gave them back.
