How much difference do you think cables makes in the audio quality of your system?

I think you have me mixed up with someone else. I am 62 years old, a Man of God for over 44 years and don't even know what esoteric means. Are you sure you are responding to the right quoter?? Maybe that's the problem because I keep having a hard time why you are giving me a hard time about my quotes. I am quite a simple man but have fantastic ears for music.

You have to be listening for it.If you are listening to music,enjoying the groove or the mood you probably wont hear much of a difference.If youre watching a movie almost definitely you wont hear any difference.If you are in audiophile mode,in other words concentrating on the sound and not the performance of the music you can probably hear a small but real difference.In a few cases it can be obvious to even a person who hasnt trained their mind to perceive these differences.I personally dont care very much.All my cables are entry level audiophile cables and I dont worry about it.

You may initially notice the change when you replace your cables but after a few weeks or if you don't listen often you won't remember the difference.

I've read reviews in magazines and on line that some cables have this or that sound. Reviewer go to great lengths to describe the differences a cable makes in their system.

Cables should NOT effect the sound at all. Cables should be like Doctors( at least in theory): "they should do no harm." Or, in this case not add or subtract anything.

I have not scientific evidence to support this but I think the real issue is the matching of equipment in the system.

Does anyone know if the impedence differences between the components effects the sound of a system?

Maybe we should be paying more attention to how the pieces of electronics interact with one another via the cables rather than just the cables.

Just some random thoughts on a Sunday morning on my part.

Now THAT is the right kind of thinking...
