Topic: Do you believe that expensive cables really work ?

[Own7]

I have 2 sets of speaker cables right now. Audience 24sx and transparent reference
Gen. 5. The reference gen. 5 is twice and a half more expensive than the 24sx,
What improved? Lower noise floor, deeper wider sounstage, a more realistic
Instrument timbre, deeper better textured bass, better dynamic swing and more
Details that i have never heard before from a recordings.

Different flavor? I dont think so.

a cheaper way of doing it is through the jumper wires, assuming that the speaker offers biwire capability. however, the sound difference in this approach may not be easily discernable especially if the jumpers in comparison doesnt have a day and night sort of difference.

im using 4 pairs, 2 has a very dull/laidback/rolled off sound while the other pair has a very bright/analytical/forward sound. ......you can actually mix and match for fun

I agree that wine and beer improves the audio quality ... pero mas matindi maka-improve ng audio quality yung may nagsasayaw sa stage then biglang mag-i-split, walang sinabi expensive cable ... pauwi ka na naaalala mo pa yung music  ... LOL

Cables make a difference in sound in my experience, to the point that they can make or break your setup.  Cables can either throttle or unlock the SQ of your system.

You can be perfectly happy with the sound of your system, not knowing that the SQ is being held back severely by a certain cable. And you can't know that until you try a different cable in your system.  When you do, there will certainly be a change in sound but whether that change is for the better, for the worse, or sideways depends on the individual listener.  If it's for the better, then it's up to the system owner to decide if the price delta is worth paying.

If you hear no difference when you change a cable, most likely your gear just isn't resolving enough.  Then you're better off spending on better gear than on more expensive cables.     

Pwedeng held back, pwedeng the new cable added color to your system kaya bumagay, and yeah minsan perceived change in sound sometimes means improvement in our ears.
