|   Cables Are A Component, You Need Good Ones | Ears
Nov 13, 2003 7:15 PM | | Speaker cables and interconnects can affect how good or bad your system sounds.
For more information on which cables to try, or on making your own cables, try reading this board they give you no hassles for asking questions or which cables to use
http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/bbs.html
There are sites with details on making your own cables try one of these

Nov 13, 2003 7:42 PM | | And how would they know at Cable Asylum what is a good cable? Did they do any controlled listening tests? Why isn't a generic, well constructed, cable good? How on earth can you get good information a website that censors anyone who questions their(the moderator's) views?
Sure you need good cables, but expensive or esoteric cables are not necessarily better(sometimes worse) than generic or low priced. |

Nov 13, 2003 9:44 PM | | No, cables are not components. It is a simple passive wire with some characteristics.
b Speaker cables and interconnects can affect how good or bad your system sounds.
Nonsense. Zero evidence for this.Your link to the looney bin is laughable:) Hell will freeze over first before they know about cables. |

Nov 14, 2003 6:01 AM | | The people there live in a fantasy world where they halucenate and then report on it. Anyone who dares tell them that their emporer has no clothes is run off in one way or another.....
I've recently had a moderator sneaking around erasing my posts that disagree with their little fantasy. Now that that doesn't work, they're trying to say I don't have a valid email address registered.....
Here is an example:

As for the link to Jon Risch's site, it's full of HUGE errors and factually incorrect statements. A site search here will yield plenty of fodder to substantiate this. None of his theories about cables ever withstood any real scrutiney here. Of course at AA, he's a moderator and helps enforce the the fantasy.

understanding to input the question and you are too much a Moron or Idiot
to comprehend the answer. The answer is not for you.
WOW. They are desperate:) |

b should
be made aware that those statements have no basis in fact, and are indeed fantasies!
Interconnects and speaker cables are NOT "components" in any sense of the word.
They cannot - in and of themselves - do much of anything to affect how a system sounds. Unless, of course, they're intentionally made in such a way as to alter the frequency response in some way that's pleasing to someone's ears. In that case, it's NOT what "high-fidelity" is all about.
You've evidently been influenced by the wrong people Mr.Ears. People like Jon Risch and others who follow him into LaLaLand! Run, don't walk ... before you end up spending vast sums of your hard-earned on fairy tales.

Nov 15, 2003 6:54 PM | | Ignoring the bad grammar in the title of the base note, you still might want to question the advice of a person who thinks you need a "good" component without establishing that:
1) your current (perhaps cheap) cable is not "good".
2) being a "component" somehow implies that there are audble differences among examples of a particular component
If you want to know the facts, read on, but be aware that there is a lot of BS and outright lying in the home audio market. Question whatever you read, but expect that people who claim to hear big differences in "components", prove it. |
