Default The sound of speaker cables

Sure that's the oft-heard response: YOU or your SYSTEM aren't GOOD ENOUGH.
Tell me why no retailer or manufacturer has been able to produce a replicable
experiment that shows that their wire has ANY effect, let alone a POSITIVE
effect on sound quality?


Surely if cables sounded different, then that difference must be a
NEGATIVE one? I can see how bad corroded rusty cables that are falling
apart could introduce a bad sound, and a decently constructed set of
cables produce a neutral sound (no change from decent cable to decent
cable) but I have no eay of conceiveing of a way a cable can make
sound better! Unless I start believeing in magic, ofcourse...

Also, unless the cable is so broken that it makes the sound bad, and
there is a slight, subtle difference in the cable sound, then your
brain will self-correct for it in minutes, and you won't hear the
sound again.

Spending money on cables is money that you didn't spend on your
speakers. Any change in sound from cables (if it indeed exists, which
I doubt to any meaningful extent) is certainly not worth paying money
for.
