In Reply to: PS - Cables do matter posted by SCEvans on April 18, 2004 at 08:11:29:
At least they matter to me -- I've got a closetful to prove it. In the case of speaker cables alone, the Omega Mikros replaced Mapleshades which replaced Kimber 8TCs which replaced Straightwires which replaced Monsters. Each new cable was compared to the predecessor and won handily. There wasn't as much difference between the Home Depot cables and the Omega Mikros, but I have a couple of "problem" CDs and records I use as references, and there was a clear, if slight, advantage to the HDs in terms of clarity, detail, smoothness and that old standby, "musicality."This is to my ears in my system. JMMV and all that.
I'm going to make a second pair and send it off to be cryoed and then compare again.
