Re: Help!!! I'm confused now... do cables really sound different?!?

No one to my knowledge can correlate cable performance to design in anything like a reliable manner. Every cable designer has a speel as to why his design excels, and users likewise develop generalities based upon their own experience.

Take silver cables. There *is* a reason for the generalizations that suggest bright, thin, sterile sound, a simple reason in fact ... because a great many silve cables sound that way!

But *all* silver cables most certainly don't, and in fact better silver cables can sound incredibly smooth and give the impression of a lower noise floor.

Why? Who knows? As in almost every area of audio I'm afraid the best advice is to trust your ears ... when something sounds right, when something improves you system, enhances your enjoyment ... go with it!

Trust you ears.
