I currently use the simplest of shielded bare copper wires to which I attached some bananaplugs and I am not on the side of believing in any audible improvement with cables.
I believe there is connection or no connection. No in-betweens. I know heavily shielded cables can possibly only improve something when there is already loads of interference from nearby devices. But apart from studio environments or nearby radio devices I don’t really see the need for this.
But this could be my “favourite” for any other reason besides audio compared to my current wire.
- Better in optical sense.
My stands in the living come without cable guides and this way it looks slightly better and compliments the loudspeakers in color. And let’s be honest. It is for a living room, little optical improvements are always ok.
-Cats might be less interested
My current mantle is slightly thinner and they rarely get attracted when bumping into it.
- provides a sturdier connection between cable and plugs.
I am usually taking the shortest path. Now my bananaplugs are heavier than the cable it is on. Which is ok for its purpose of signal transportation but not for transportation in the moving context or dropping it accidentally on the ground etc. I know how to do it right but never really took the time (and fun)in selecting, collecting and spending an afternoon with materials to craft a pair.
-The price is probably right
It surprises me that there well made ok-priced USB cables about anywhere, but non bare wire loudspeaker cables of similar craft-quality range somewhere between 15 euro’s and anywhere imaginable.
So my points to justify getting another pair of cables of which I am not going to hear the difference in any sense.
Who else is on this side
?
