Cables and Sound Quality

In the previous post, I extolled about the virtues of the HDMI cable and how HDMI cables can enhance the visual quality of your prized RCA home theater system. Now, I am going to expand on this topic about audio cables.

RCA home theater system cablesA friend of mine who is an audiophile enthusiast told me over the long weekend that we should pay as much as we can for the audio cables in our sound system, be it an audiophile system, or a home theater surround sound system. He said that audio cables are like the veins and arteries in our bodies - essential and vital, and must be as "clean" as possible - free of blood cots or fat residues.

Come on, this is a guy who has no qualms about spending big bucks for a high-end Kimber speaker cables and interconnect. I guess he must be loaded with cold hard cash from his day trading!

Sadly, I beg to differ on his view.

There's really no such thing as a "best" audio cable, or even a "better" audio cable. It all depends on your home theater surround system setup. For example, I am very happy with my humble sound of my RCA home theater system. I think it rocks, as the acoustics match nicely with my room setup. Yes, I have done a little bit of tweaks. Out goes the original manufacturer speaker cables....

Just so long as you're using the right cable for the right setup, you should get clear, quality sound no matter what.

Sorry, i have to say you are dead wrong, my buddy.
