Speaker Cables

[f1eng]

Flip sake Frank, after spending all that money on the Goldmunds, now I can see why you can't afford decent speaker cable!!

Well when I bought the Goldmunds between 15 and 20 years ago, they were less pricy. I auditioned them, Goldmund Apologues, Wilson WAMM and Grand SLAMM, B&W Nautilus, NAIM DBL and some big Focals and the Goldmunds were the best to my ears then. Mind you, I wanted to prefer the Nautilus since I adore the styling.
OTOH I am an engineer and since there is no mechanism by which a cable can effect sound quality the only way IMHO that anybody hears a difference in them (and I believe them when they say they do) is either the placebo effect, or expectation bias.
Perfectly functional cables are available for a modest sum. I have experimented in considerable depth with, and can probably afford, fancy cables but am still unconvinced.
The only ones that sounded better to me were MIT cables with the filter(?) boxes, and they were twice the price of my amp at the time, which is obscene IMO.

Now you're just showing off!

Sorry, just hoping to put things in perspective for those who have never heard of Goldmund or Tune Audio...
