In Reply to: The difference in cables tends to be a profound thing. posted by Duster on January 2, 2012 at 13:17:39:
Hmmm, thread relegated to the desert just as I was typing a response to you. Bummer!
I found your post curiously unresponsive to that of the OP. Far as I can tell he's innocent of all of your accusations and was just sharing his experiences...
Anyhow the comment I was trying to make is that I think the disconnect is semantically driven because my experiences more or less match both yours and those of the OP. I would say that most of the time cables have a fairly subtle effect upon the sound, but none-the-less that effect may make a profound difference in my enjoyment. That's simply one of the things that makes home audio so interesting to me.
I find interconnects to need the most TLC but it probably depends a lot on how the gear is implemented and the environment that it's in. And perhaps the sensitivities of the listener to particular artifacts...
