Even if we disagree on the magnitude of cable effects, this is ass-backwards. A good cable does not alter sound. A bad cable does.

On the first point, it depends on the speaker design where the mid, upper mids, and highs are.

On the second point, I read his comments as asking if I think cables offer different sonic signatures which they do. Of course, a better cable will leave the signal alone or less altered. A better cable lets more of the music and detail through.

just so you know i havent actually read the above links thoroughly

but i also think this is bs perpetuated by the "audiophile" community

do a double blind test yourself with your sound recording studio and tell us how it goes

Dude, I have done many DBTs with cables which is the major factor in why I believe some sound better than others.

I bought a pair of audio technica headphones that are noise canceling for travel. They are by no means audiophile quality but they still sound damn good when plugged into an ipod and I would highly recommend them.
