Default Cables - the definitive answer

trollWhat, no "oh, your friend must have communicated telepathically

or "lucky guess"? Come on, you can do better than that!/troll

Note extreme sarcasm in the above paragraph - I have to spell it out
because certain people in this group (not yourself I might add) might
not realise that I'm being incredibly ironic in the above paragraph...

Seriously though, as far as I'm concerned that experiment proves beyond
reasonable doubt that cables do make a difference to the sound. And
while I wouldn't advocate going out and spending £100+ on a set of
interconnects, spending £15 or so is a worthwhile investment for a
decent mid-range system, or possibly a bit higher for a higher end system.

And plus there's the "is it worth it" argument. A set of Cambridge
Pacific interconnects at £30 are about as far as most people need to go.
I'm only using a Cobra II because I got one for less than half price at
last year's hi-fi show. It's worth £24, but wouldn't be worth £55 - the
difference over the £30 Pacific isn't worth the extra £25.
