CABLES & WIRE IMPROVING SOUND

JOHN · 7th December 2005

Hi People

1. Do better and more expensive wire and cables improve sound when used with recording equipment?
2. Do the leads need to be burnt in?
3. What type of cable would you recommend?

Cheers

John,

It sounds like you've been reading too many audiophile magazines. All of that is total nonsense designed to separate the uneducated from their money. Or, in the case of "burning in" wires, waste your time. Or prevent you from returning expensive wires after the 60 days a credit card purchase can be refunded.

Hi John.

It is also in bad form to post the same question in 2 places on the same site. No big deal but don't be suprised if a mod comes and deletes one post.
