For a very long time I have read with misgivings that high dollar cables sound different/better than cheap radio shack rca cables.
I took the gamble, an expensive one at that when you consider all the mistakes I made, of making my own " Boutique " RCA cables. Not really expecting to hear any difference , but rather cleaning up the cable mess I have in my HT cabinet.
After one weeks worth of listening to all my best recorded music I now can speak from my personal experence, which is, boy was I wrong.
The music plays louder at lower volumes, the high shrilly tones are gone as is the deep bass boominess.
How can this be ?
If I could be wrong about RCA cables I guess I could also prove myself wrong on Speaker Wire. Which is why I ask this question, is it better to use cat 5e cable for speaker wire in the DYI realm ?
