In Reply to: RE: And what about those that have extensive experience and claim cables don't matter? posted by Sordidman on January 23, 2015 at 09:23:59
"The controversy surrounding the claim to audible improvements due to cabling are widely known and the effects of wire are generally reported as insignificant by many sources outside of subjectivist audiophile circles. Numerous engineering experts in various fields of electrical, audio, and loudspeaker engineering have also stated this opinion. Such experts include Dr. Howard Johnson of Signal Consulting Inc., John Dunlavy most recently of Dunlay Audio Labs, and Roger Russell formerly Director of Acoustic Research for McIntosh Laboratory. Each of these gentlemen has spoken out against exaggerated claims of cable effects on audio reproduction in various venues; Mr. Russell, the man behind the McIntosh Loudspeaker Division from its inception in 1967 until 1992, goes as far as actively criticize exotic cable performance claims on the web site he maintains."

...every person in your citation will be criticized as not involved with current high end SOTA audio and/or being effectively deaf and therefore opinions expressed will be summarily dismissed as not valid and entirely irrelevant to the current cable discussion, esp those of Roger Russell and the speakers he was responsible for while at McIntosh. I also predict that someone will eventually point out that Roger Russell's latest speaker offering, the IDS line source column contains some kind of Cardas cable for internal wiring, a seeming inconsistency with his published views.
Of course, that citation conveniently leaves out incomparably larger portion of people involved with audio at the highest level, who DON'T share views of the few naysayers mentioned there.
However, as I said, it's all irrelevant - the only things that matter are my system, my hearing, my brain.
