with what amp and speakers? Just curious. It wouldn't surprise me if they sound the same.
I've used the Cat5 cables, and various other cables, with various amps and speakers... and so far I've never heard any two kinds of speaker cables sound different.
Have you ever used very high sensitivity speakers above 95db/1w where you'd be only using a few watts to maybe 10 watts almost all the time?
No, I've never used speakers like that - only ever medium-ish sensitivity speakers and relatively high power solid state amps.
it's mostly just about showing off. When I was on audiogon... they list all the fancy garden-hose cables on their system page. It's trivial competition and gloating, even if it doesn't seem like it. There is a constant bias that exists there, because you can't spend 4 grand or in some cases a lot more, and not justify the difference it makes to sound quality. When an objectivist calls them out, it's game over; Deep down, they know the truth but refuse to admit it.If I bought a $4000,- cable, my brain sure as hell would make it sound better no matter what your measurements show
But thanks for addressing this. If people with loads of money want to show off cables like expensive watches that's fine with me. But at least your video may prevent some people from spending their hard earned money on this crap.
