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

We all know cables make a measurable difference. You only have to change the length by a foot.

The argument is about whether cables with effectively the same LCR, and enginered to meet the basic engineering requirements of the application, sound different.

The answer to the argument is NO.

But this contravenes sighted personal impressions, which the average person chooses not to distinguish from reality, and so they cannot 'let go' and accept that their sighted impressions are effectively delusions.

They then got on discussion boards and try to make everyone reinvent the wheel because they weren't personally there when the wheel was invented. This usually culminates in "please help me to set up blind listening tests that I can personally conduct at home and then I can tell you all the truth (which I secretly hope will endorse my sighted impressions)".

People who can accept that properly engineered and applied cables leave no audible trace don't get involved in all the above hanky panky and focus their time on genuinely audible factors like speakers, room and LP players.

We're well past that point in the discussion.

I like the way you get more specific.

Is there any reason why you can't be more specific when talking about cable sound, ie name the cables or describe the dielectric etc?
cheers.

fredex,

Only because I have not been able to locate my notes and would not care to poke negative comments at specific brands, based upon an elderly memory that has certainly been overwritten a number of times with imagined results.

If I can unearth them I will provide my then fresh comments.

Didn't Bud already give it as unshielded copper Litz pairs sheathed in cotton?

[BudP]

Along with 1 inch long pieces of shrink tube (polyolefin, dielectric constant of 2.4) distributed down the lengths at 1/2 meter intervals and the polyester / nylon insulation on the individual strands of the 140 strands of #40 Litz composition.
