In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud (www.tomshardware.com)

I thought audio quality was more to do with the source and the destination. If you have a shit needle on a record or a speaker made of wood then its gonna sound like ass.

I never once thought it had anything to do with the cables. Unless they were frayed or damaged in some way.

But i am not an audiophile, i record my own music and mix etc, but never worried about cable quality before.

Yep cables only matter in terms of preference. Unless we are going so cheap it’s barely holding on
