Upon special request, starting this thread in the "right" forum.
Formerly, I was skeptical that expensive, high end cable could make a sonic difference. I mean a cable is a cable, right ? I had read all about blind tests against coat hangers, cheap cables, etc. so it was not something I thought to invest in even though I would think nothing of dropping $500 to $800 on a cart or 100's on tubes. Well, I am here to tell you - I was very wrong.
I am a regular on another board that tends to lean (like the tower of Pisa) toward high end. Made a friend there who gifted me 3 - 1meter high end interconnects.By High End I mean they cost anywhere from 125 to 200 each.
Replaced my short cables in my system and wow...I am now a believer. There was more detail and the sound stage was even deeper...I should have known. I had made DIY speaker cables (low inductance DIY with the twist )'

and they made a difference so why wouldn't these ? They did.
Then I need a 15ft good connect to go from my Phonomena II Phono stage to my preamp. So I went with Bluejeans LC-1 cables. Simply awesome.
So if you don't think cables make a difference, either you have not tried it OR you are not resolving enough to begin with. Is it a huge difference? No..maybe 5% ...but would feel like a 20% loss if I removed them...:yes:
