Iconoclast speaker cables

[IanG-UK]

There is a chance that this thread, on a largely unheard of loudspeaker cable, turns into a debate on whether well engineered cables sound the same or different.

Which would, in my opinion, be futile since these debates have run for years on established fora like HiFi Wigwam, Pink Fish, What's Best Forum, ... , and have reached the same range of conclusions.

I'm happy that some of us spend large amounts of money on cables and some of us spend little in the belief that well engineered cables are all that is needed. I've fallen into both camps.

Whilst I note what Alicata says "Honestly, the thought that there is no technical reason to spend any extra money on cables because there is no sound difference between them is exactly how these cables came about.", I would amend/append the words to read "... because there is no sound difference between them is possibly how these cables came about ... or possibly because manufacturers/retailers see a hugely profitable marketing opportunity in this area".

And I cannot remember any publicly declared blind listening tests on cables which show significantly significant discrimination results, in the last 20 years, which might indicate something. But not necessarily everything.
