  Cables do make a difference. Without them I hear nothing out of the speakers.

  Sounds like while you were selling him something, he was selling you something.

  When an audiofool buys a fancy cable,he can hear the manufacturer laughing all the way to the bank.

  When you see some magical-looking cables in the listening room, your brain tells you they must sound much better than your regular cables. This is the secret to believing in cables.

  I had a local dealer do the same thing, I had just purchased a pair of Vandersteen speakers in 1999 and he asked about cables, I was using 12ga lamp cord. The dealer gave me two sets of cables, set one was $99, set two was $999. I had my brother swap cables without me knowing what was in use and I was able to pick out the branded speaker cables every time from the 12ga lamp cord. I was 50/50 trying to pick out the $99 from the $999 cables. .I went back to my dealer a week or so later and told him what happened, &nbsp;bought the $99 cables. Still using them today

  Halloween, daylight saving and a crazy election all in one week. Paul comes in with a “Hold My Beer” let’s talk about speaker cables to wrap it all up. 💛

  And let’s be fair: if you have a nice setup, decent cables just look good.

  Horses for courses.<br><br>Even though I&apos;m an avid 2 channel stereo music lover, I also love the occasional movie, too, and due to lack of space, I have to optimise my setup for multi-channel listening also. However, when it came listening to my newly discovered multi-channel setup, I immediately became aware of how the room sounded different. Didn&apos;t know what it was at first, but coming from an audio black background, there was no way I was prepared to put up with it!<br><br>Even after auditioning 3 separate AVR&apos;s, the same electrical ambient sound of the room was still present! That told me the extremely faint background signal noise I had been experiencing (poor description) had nothing to do with the actual units. Therefore, my attention changed to the cables. And even then It was only on the third occasion (one set of them being monoprice Amazon basics 14 awg) that I finally ended up purchasing shielded cables that the noise floor within my small room finally came down to satisfactory levels.<br><br> Cables often act as antennas for attracting RF, and the longer the cable, the better the antenna. Probably explains why when I used to disconnect my heights and surrounds within 10 minutes, the faint background signal noise (RF/EMI) within my small room used to almost practically disappear/dissipate<br><br>The more cables I shield, the quieter my room becomes, and the better the shielding, the more the cables are likely to disappear. In fact, the last group of cables I changed were from my HDMI&apos;s and lo and behold the room became slightly quieter yet again.<br><br>If one has the same sensitivities and is looking to address this matter, but is also hoping to notice (hear) the incremental differences, I would suggest starting with analogue cables before moving on to digital and power cables (no good getting rid of the quietest when one hasn&apos;t addressed the noisiest)<br><br>Trying to achieve a totally silent room sadly has turned into obsession for me. However, the results speak for themselves. There are times when pressing pause (or mute), I&apos;m unable to differentiate whether the systems on or whether the systems actually switched off. Of course, audiophile equipment helps, but in reality, for one to have an exceptionally quiet room with a multi-channel setup, shielded cables are where it&apos;s at.

  I&apos;ve found that different interconnects have a much greater impact than changing speaker cables

  How about recreating that demo, since there is such a difference ,it should be heard even on YouTube.
