Heh, ok, posting written rather quickly... but you get the idea.

In your opinion of course.


In my experience, yes, speaker cables do make a difference to the sound.
As do interconnects to some extent. Seems that some people can hear a
difference and others can't - just like some people (myself included)
have perfect pitch and others don't.

There are people who really can't hear differences between various hi-fi
components. Although one of the more entertaining examples was a couple
of years ago when a know-it-all friend insisted that there couldn't
possibly be a difference between £100 worth of Technics CD player
(SL-PG590) and £1000 worth of Arcam CD/DVD player (DV79). So I hooked
both up, played a piece of music on the Technics (Duelling Banjos off a
Hayseed Dixie CD IIRC, was what I had in my hand at the time)... all
fine during the intro but when the bassline kicked in the whole sound
became overblown.

I then swapped to the Arcam and the difference was fairly amazing.

My friend's response? "Oh, you're using those fancy Chord interconnects
on the Arcam, you're using a £10 Cambridge Atlantic on the Technics."

Riiiiight...
