I don't believe cables make a difference, any input?

We gave them transistors. Still they keep on measuring....

Seriously though, what you're saying is true, no doubt about it.

So, if it measures the same it should sound the same, right?

I wish that were true but why do my ears tell me different?

I don't think passive stuff is a passive as it seems. YMMV.

Cheers,

The thing is they don't all measure the same so you shouldn't expect them to sound the same.

I'm not the only one with a brain either, SY.

Pretty hard to get everything the same, it's mass produced so it has lower precision, unless you buy precise parts, but even those are not the same.

One would hope wouldn't they

Absolutely. Thats where you get the greatest benefit for the marginal increase in cost, and where the money should go.

That's one of the places however as you start tinkering with that, you will tinker with others and then well, your over your head in other projects and tinkering

Nothing wrong with that - after all this is the diyaudio forum .

Exactly why i signed up many many years ago.!

Cables do make a difference, but most setups are not able to reproduce the differences due to other factors like room acoustics, speakers, amplifiers, file format, the listener's hearing ability, etc. Although I would think that the "copper foil" cables that have a really thin layer of insulation between the +/- "wire" would create a nice capacitor more often than not.
