US$30Canare vs US$385 Cable

[Ambio]

Here is the proof that cables do make a difference.

$385 mic cable vs $30 mic cable, Canare "industry standard" vs high end Requisite standard

How nice would it be if we can one cable that is absolutely the best. A cable universally accepted by all music lovers.

High hopes

DIfferent cables will always be required ...because different pieces of kit are faulty in different ways :yahoo: hyeah:

 

[dheerajin]

Yes and ears are faulty too...so even if cable is same...it is going to sound different to same ears...and thats how human brain behaves differently...so no same conclusion..there is no one way to know the difference..

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

There is a way. The M word. You know, the one that causes some people to turn purple and have horrible convulsions.

 

[saheb11123]

The M word.

What is the M word?

 

[dheerajin]

I think M=Money

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

Oh. come on guys! Audiophiles do not hate the word money! :lol:




(The word is measurements)

If we pause for a moment and ask ourselves what's the relevance of this video than we may realize it got nothing to do with cables that we use in our system.

I didn't really get to hear much difference using the single PC speaker. Even if I did, that was by side by side comparisons. The cables involved in this videos were of 18foot long carrying current measured in mA. In our case, the speakers cable carries a much higher current up to tens of volt.

I wouldn't use this video as a basis to spend extra money to buy a more expensive cable.

......the speakers cable carries a much higher current up to tens of volt...............

That must be a typo ? Hmmm.......or you are not a techie !
Can confuse beginners !

:signthankspin: Meant to say "voltage" and cross refer them to actual current. AND I am no techie.

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

What you say is right in principle, though. Microphone cables and turntable cables carry voltages much smaller than any of our other equipment.

You can find these arguments even on Gearslutz. One guy says he can hear an appreciable difference, another offers to analyse and compare the recordings, and finds no difference. So even studio guys do not always agree on this stuff. There are more electrical engineers there, which sometimes makes the conversations even more polarized, but also leads to a lot of good information. And that doesn't mean that all the EEs are always on the same side either!
