In Reply to: Survey of what interconnect cables are you using with your Sacd player? posted by bkwong73 on April 3, 2002 at 09:31:38:
The length of this thread is a comment on the sad state of affairs we have come to. All well made cables sound EXACTLY the same. If they sound different in any way they are poorly designed. Shielding is mandatory. Any unusual construction is to be avoided. There is no magic here folks. The book was written decades ago. Nothing works better then a round wheel. Forget about what you hear. That is the BIG TRAP. All double blinded direct AB comparisons have failed to show any audible difference between good cables. So the trick is to get the cheapest good cables and spend the rest on music or stuff that really makes a difference like active biamping, room control, more power, sub woofers, better front end.
