Anyone who has been reading the thread here on audio cables must have noticed the fireworks on display. Apparently some shacksters feel that paying a lot of money for high end cables is a scam. I think that is getting it backwards. Think for a moment, if you manufactured speakers let's say why would you want your customers to make their $2000 speakers sound like a $3000 speaker by simply changing speaker cables? That makes 0 sense if you manufacture speakers, of course you want them to buy the $3000 speaker.
Why would you want a customer make your $2000 processor sound like a $4000 processor by changing the power cord and interconnects? Wouldn't you rather they get the $4000 processor?
The real scam in audio is spending huge $$$ on component upgrades when a simple cable upgrade could get you most of the way there for relatively little money.
Then when I see people promote this scam here as a way of being intelligent I have to wonder where that comes from. Has the component manufacturing industry really been this effective on making people spend big $$$ on new components? Apparently yes.
OK, now you want data right? According to audio reviewer Thomas Campbell:
" interconnects and speaker cables make the largest per-dollar difference of any component or accessory. "

I got news for you, you don't have to take any of this on faith. Nearly all of these cable vendors provide risk free in home auditions.
So, stop being scammed by the component manufacturers on spending big $$$ on components. Get good components and unleash 100% of their potential with some decent cables. Remember, interconnects and speaker cables make the largest per dollar difference of ANY component or accessory. Just take the time to test risk free and prove it to yourself. :smile:
