Superb cables on a budget

[mansr]

the use of the phrase 'train station' instead of 'railway station'

Yes, let's talk about railways instead.

 

[IceG]

For me, it's the use of the phrase 'train station' instead of 'railway station'

At last, I am not alone. That one makes me so annoyed.

Choo Choo!

Well since this has gone off the rails...

Would they suffer less cable theft is they used Amazon Basics cables?

 

[Del monaco]

Hilarious.

As Joe Hutch is getting literary, I hope I will be allowed to misquote Miss Austen :

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of an expensive set of audio cables."

Love that quote.

Would the trains run on time if they used more expensive cables?

 

[Rosewind]

They would if the expensive cables (and tracks) were coordinated as one system.

Don't be silly you 'special builder' you.

Indeed, very special...

 

[flutteringwow]

Indeed, very special...

We didn't have any doubt over that.

On the issue of railways and cables carrying signals, I'd just like to go over a few points....

 

[Del monaco]

Changing track, I..

...let's await the thread invasion... it's all in the aligned nano structure, of the electron depleted, magnetic copper, polished to let the electrons glide, defeating the natural repelling forces, ensuring no music DNA is lost...

Yes. It's regrettable that the usual suspects just won't be tolerant of positive user views on inexpensive cables; even if such views are not what the audio industry might prefer to promote to its customers.

It's not about tolerable...if you own a halfway decent hifi, the failings in inexpensive cabling show up like a sore thumb..however if your half deaf or use your prejudices or graphs and measurements to listen for you? Isn't that regrettable too?

As long as the cables are fit for purpose that’s it, everything else is charlatanism.

The exact reverse applies, not only about cables but also digital sources and dacs, the “usual suspects” roll out their boilerplate answers without any consideration the OP may have actually heard a difference, in effect they are told it’s all in their heads or unless they do the demo double blind it’s invalid.

A matsui midi system can play music..then the matsui is fit for that purpose..who wants to listen to a matsui? Same with "inexpensive cables " the only people who rave about these cables are people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing!
The inherent value of a decent cable having the ability to hear more...these penny pinchers will have none of it and of course they won't hear much of it either! Their loss but also their victory..all that money saved! I can see their faces now glowing with smugness...there is nothing finer than idiots smiling...
