Cables for Devialet D200

[mdconnelly]

In my experience, there are people with golden ears who can discern clear sonic differences between different cables.   Yes, blind testing will differentiate those that can from those that can't (and, I suspect, many of us that think we can would fail in a blind test - I know I did).   But I don't question that some can.  

But hey, there are extremely well-made cables and those that are designed to be as cheap as possible and still function (as most stock cables are).  I prefer well designed.  And if I believe that the well designed cable will likely sound better, if it increases my confidence that my system will sound better, well then, good for me.  Placebo effect?  Perhaps, and I'm OK with that.

Of course, marketing hype is what it is and people and their money are easily parted.  That's certainly not unique to the audio cable business.   Personally, I get equally annoyed by those that are adamant that there can be no difference as I do by those that swear that those $5000+ cables profoundly changed their lives.   

Find what works for you, your ears and your wallet.
