[Hot Take] Do Expensive Audio Cables Truly Make a Difference or Is The "Snake Oil" Real?
Well this one is a doozy! One of the most hotly debated topics in audio: do more expensive cables really make a difference? Speaker cables, interconnect (RCA/XLR) cables, power cables etc? Many insist that they don't backed up by countless scientific tests showing no measurable difference between some $20 lamp cord cables and multi thousand $$$ cables. Yet many audiophiles insist that they do as the "ear test" tells a different story. In fact, I have largely been uninterested in this debate and have literally had the same cables in my system for nearly 20 years. You could say that I simply didn't believe that they could make much of a difference. But now that I have stepped up the quality of my core system tremendously and have been more educated in the audio industry...was my view shortsighted? Can they make a difference in the right environment? Has my views changed at all? Strap up tight....you don't want to miss this one!

I have also been apart of an Audioquest cable demo at my local hifi store and I really did like the William Tell speaker cables. I can easily hear changes in cables on my Paradigm 7F’s & all my cables are upgraded to approx the William Tell level but of another brand.
That's the great thing about the 7F. It could resolve all the changes you make to the system 😄
It depends If you have a higher end high fidelity speaker system or a higher end Trinnov or StormAudio home theater system than I would highly recommend that you get Audioquest cables if you want less noise and less humming and hissing. I’m already in the process of changing my home theater cables out because I have to piece out the purchase orders and I can’t afford all of them at once. I get a little bit at a time
Yeah the ROI definitely depends on the quality of your equipment. Learning that more and more as I go along
We need an update on youe PS5 Pro video
Which one (have a few)? The announcement is imminent so I'll probably do an update once its official
Really enjoy topics like this and learning about gaming sound features and audio tech!
Glad you enjoyed the video and learned something new 😄. Whip out those headphones and check it out when you can!
Nice bit of info. Im sure people will be glad to hear this =) ( pun intended )
Thanks for watching (and for the pun 😉)
I bet Sade sounds great through these
Absolutely!
vs the Magical, there isn't anything magic . U are right about this speaker , too much cost for little to improve or better than many conventional speaker cabinets material. It's more important, I think the alignment, speaker/driver quality of manufacturing. Even material beryllium driver can have different quality. It's always an advantage for Focal which makes their own driver put the top spec to their speakers vs manufacture make put all the outside sources speaker & match them afterwards
Good points. Thanks for the comments.
I guess I'm feeling chatty today: ~10 min in you talked about Naughty Dogs and lack of new IPs and just doing remasters. I was wondering if you have any insights into the personnel changes at studios, specifically ND in this case, that might have caused the "creative" stagnation? The studios may still exist with the same names, but if the creative driving force behind those studios have left or pushed out, and their replacements just aren't the same caliber as the founders, it's going to be tough to replicate the "golden age" of that studio. My text book case would be Blizzard. The original Diablo was done by Blizzard North, and they left Blizzard long long time ago (maybe even before the Activision merger?) I think (don't quote me) they've became Grinding Gears which released Path of Exile.
I don't have direct insights other than to say that yes, there has been a lot of personnel churn at many studios including Naughty Dog. However, the core leadership at ND is still there. I think the extended time to release for these games have more to do with ballooning cost due to increasing complexity and mismanagement of resources more than anything else. For example, you hear many disgruntled employees in the recent layoffs at Bungie and Bethesda focus much of their ire at the senior leadership and primarily blame them. Also, lack of direction and focus is definitely a factor. For example, ND cancelled The Last of Us Factions after years of work. Many of the team was saying that they didn't feel a live service GAAS game was not really in their DNA but they were driven by management to pursue it. There are stories like that across the industry at large
I'm only 1 min into the video, but had a suggestion for more gaming content. I'd be interested in something like "What I'm Playing Lately", maybe as a monthly update (but I won't hold you to that schedule, since it's a lot of work to put out a video and I'm sure you have a life, family, and work 😆) Not a review of the games since there are gaming review sites for that, but I'm just curious what you're playing currently. Why you're playing it with your limited gaming time, out of all the other available games, and what's good or bad about it. Anyway, I guess this is just a way for me to say I missed our gaming conversations and I missed hearing your take on games/series/franchises.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I'll heed the suggestion although the pace that I game now will not warrant a monthly update 😀. I have a backlog that I'd like to tackle that is years back and probably 1500 hours of gaming. It might be another 2 years before I even catch up not to mention new games along the way. Right now, I'm mostly trying to finish Ghosts of Tsushima on PS5 which I never played the PS4 version (even though I purchased it day 1 for that system). I also still play Helldivers and SF6 for relatively quick fun online fixes. I've probably put 200+ hours in Helldivers and 300+ hours in SF6. Those are never ending. The problem is I'm not really excited for anything coming out this year. The other thing is that as a console gaming "enthusiast", I'm a prime target for the PS5 Pro and I'm holding from playing some games until that is out. Games like Black Myth, FFVII Rebirth, and Jedi Survivor I haven't progressed in as I'm waiting to experience it on the higher end hardware. Hopefully, it'll make it out this year!
AMAZING REVIEW - I'm excited to get my 7F in my log place! Don't have an ear like yours, but grew up with a dad who love audio and we had Mac and Ar9s back in the day!
That's awesome!
Yes
Don't cripple your sound quality with compressed Spotify...instead use a quality lossless source like Apple Music.
YO KOOL. Nice video as usual. Which mounts are you using for the svs’s atmos?
Thanks! I'm the included ceiling brackets
Great vid. Congrats on all your upgrades. I struggled deciding the direction to go for my digital video front end. Seriously considered Kaleidescape but went with Plex and I love it. Built a 40TB Synology NAS, ripped all my movies (MKV) to the server and it works phenomenal at a 1/3rd the cost of Kaleidescape.
Nice!
Oled on top the only color you can actually see the duference is black so yeah
Awesome home theater and great vid. Just wondering what kind of cabinet you have. Looks awesome. Thanks.
Thanks! The cabinet is Salamander Designs Oslo
Awesome video...always love hearing others feedback on home theaters.
Thanks for watching!
Im an audio nut and after countless money spent my conclusion is that the majority of what your hearing is the interaction between your drivers and the room. You dont need to spend insane money to get rediculous sound quality. You just need to spend alot of time tweaking and designing your system to fit your room
You hit the nail right on the head 😉
Well done
Thanks!
Top is better u can see y when the words pop up✅
Top has not white. Bottom yes.
WOW you can really see how lifted the black levels are on the QD-OLED! I prefer the top pure blacks! Also WOLED whites are white and QD-OLED whites have a pinkish tint
@@sterlonb.digital777no you can't 😅
Top is top green. Bottom is too red. Get either, then fix the color in the settings. Can't go wrong.
Bottom definitely has a red/pink push to it. I didn't really see a green push on the top but the whites and blues definitely look more pure and clean
taking the top one
To me the Bravia 8 on top did look better in many scenes. The "old" and "dated" OLED tech. Imagine that😏
Maaaaaaaaaan your System rocks!!!
Thank you 😉
Have you heard the 9h?
Yes of course. Fundamentally the same as the 7F but with room correction and extra power woofers. A bit unnecessary since I already have 2 big subs and an Anthem processor with ARC. If you're going for purely 2ch setup, I'd say the 9H is the way to go.
You got dirty electricity 😮 ! You got to run a separate electrical line to connect your equipment sir …
Great observation. Best to you, my guy. Electronics can become obsolete at the blink of an 👁
Word!
Are u balanced?
Not sure what you mean here? Balanced in what regard?
Congrats 🍾🎈. Looking forward to seeing your review & results on the Hifi Rose.
Thanks. Look out for this one soon(ish)
How’s it going? After getting back into car audio, I wanna start a home audio system. Not necessarily home theater, really just music. What should I look for in a receiver/amplifier? Probably need less than 500W, maybe half.
Very open ended question. Lots of variables there. Not to cop out but in light of not really having enough info to specify a product, I'd encourage you to check out my video on amplifier power ratings here: th-cam.com/video/7HwIzD4kIE4/w-d-xo.html
@@TruTechnoGamer Thanks, I’ll check it out. Maybe a set of towers and a sub. A center channel is possible if I decided to bring in theater I see packages, but I’d like to start with the receiver, and build. Again, I’ll check the video.
At some point, hobbyists in this space will realize endgame is actually a properly designed room. We have all have some compromises, but many make the mistake chasing endgame gear when fixing the room is the ultimate goal, as it's weak link. And no gear will mitigate that.
Good point!
Like your presentation. If you haven’t linked up to JayLabs or Hatoraid Cowboy for a closer insight towards your pathway, please give them a try. They may save you precious time and money.
Yes, you certainly have some wonderful equipment but what's more impressive is how you're going about getting the best use of them. Bravo Sad to see these so-called audiophiles enthusiasts skipping up on quality cabling. In my experience, when building a multi-channel setup false economy cabling will become even more apparent. Maybe not at first but once the novelty wears off that's when ones attention is likely drawn to the sound of the room! When making the jump from 2 channel to multi-channel, I almost immediately became aware how the room sounded slightly different! Didn't know what it was at first. However, coming from an audio black background there was no way I was prepared to put up with it. Even after auditioning 3 separate AVR's, the same ambient sound of the room was still present! That told me the extremely faint background signal noise I had been experiencing (poor description!) had nothing to do with the actual units. Therefore, my attention changed to the cables. And even then It was only on the third occasion after I finally purchased shielded cables that the noise floor within my small room finally came down to satisfactory levels. Unshielded cables often act as antennas for attracting RF, and the longer the cable, the better the antenna. Probably explains why when I used to disconnect my heights and surrounds within 10 minutes, the faint background signal noise (RF/EMI) within my small room used to disappear/dissipate. Trying to achieve a totally silent room sadly has turned into a bit of an obsession for me. Doesn't help when ones 2-channel stereo also entails an extra 7 channels that are externally amplified (5.2.4) The more cables I shield, the quieter my room becomes, and the better the shielding, the more the chance the cables are likely to disappear. If one has the same sensitivities and is looking to address this matter, but is also hoping to notice (hear) the incremental differences, I would suggest addressing the analogue cables of length first before moving on to digital and power cables. When friends or guests come over, I used to show them how loud the system goes. Now I prefer to press mute and show them how my quiet it goes. None of them gets it, of course 😂
Thanks for watching and sharing. I know all too well how people don't get it. But it's great you got your system as quiet as it is. Needless to say, the power conditioner did wonders for my system (more to come)
Do you have fans on top of your amps and pre-amps? If not, I suggest keeping the TV console doors open.
I don't have fans, but the cabinet is open in the back and have vent on the top and bottom of each shelf. So it's good.
@@TruTechnoGamer Question, is there a huge difference between playback of a HiFi Rose player vs an AV RECIEVER?
@@taseti4803 If you mean using your AV Receiver as a source for digital music, than yes the Hifi Rose is a world of difference in terms of quality. Again, the higher your system performs the more likely you are to hear the difference so again mileage may vary. But there isn't a receiver out there that can match the build quality and electronics for digital music streaming of the RS 130 IMO.
Don’t go the power cable upgrade route. It has bee proven these differences are not audible. TH-camr Audioholics has done reviews.
I've seen those videos. Audioholics have gone out of their way to displute all cable as having a measurable difference. I've even seen their speaker cable analysis which was pretty tough on Audioquest for example. That said, plenty of other accounts have said they do make a difference and I've actually heard several demos where it absolutely made a difference. It really just depends on your setup and equipment as mileage may vary. That's why I refuse to go too far and spend crazy money on the cables.
Yeah, that's coming from the same guy who states "cables don't make a difference" Sometimes it's better to tell the listeners what they want to hear rather than what they 'need' to hear. It's a tactic huge channels tend to use! Personally I would rather take advice from an avid two channel music listener then someone who's learnt their trade from sitting in front of a monitor.
Copper is copper, a lot of this after market stuff is BS. Once you get your equipment enjoy Audioholics was correct $500 cables won’t do anything but inflate your ego. Don’t go down the crazy rabbit hole. 9:36
Hiss can also come from having input sensitivity set too high in your processor. There should be a setting to turn it to a negative setting to deal with hiss. Also if you are running separates, the amplifier also plays a part. 3 rd, speaker sensitivity (high) will make hiss more audible compared to other brands/models and you can’t change that without getting a quitter amplifier.
Good points. Needless to say, the power conditioner made a huge difference and removed any hiss I was hearing in my case
YO KOOL!! Nice upgrade. I heard the Hifi Rose last year at the DC Audio fest in Rockville MD. That streamer is a beast! Enjoy.
Thanks. I am so far. It really is a beast!
You know, in this hobby of ours , there's nothing like endgame, trust me , upgradetitis sets in quickly and there is no cure. So plz stop saying endgame and accept your faith.😂
That's what I hear...I'm trying though 😂
Maaaan you say it right. I spend 260k for my system and said "This is it" .... It was 4 years ago 😂 I do not count the complete price anymore but it is a lot more now. And yes, I know how much it is now... But it is way too much 🙈
You are definitely going in the right direction to get the most out of these speakers 👌 The Rose RS130 is a great choice & power is indeed very important at this level. The Puritan PM156 would be another great option to the Audioquest Niagra. Always connect your best power cable between the wall outlet & your power filter of choice IMO. Happy listening 🎶
Thanks for watching and commenting
Congratulations on the new gear. I also upgraded my power conditioner from a Panamax M5400 to Furman IT- REF I5I and I fell it made a difference. I currently use an IFI Stream as my streamer but I'm also looking to upgrade.
Very nice!
Congrats on your Persona 7H's! I have a pair of Paradigm Tribute 30th Anniversary speakers that I bought 7 years ago for $4,800 and they sounded as good as several brands of $10,000 to $15,000 speakers I also auditioned. I still love my Tribute speakers! I recently listened to the new Magico S3 speakers and wow those are awesome sounding, it sounds so realistic and the soundstage is huge. Would love to have the new Magico's but they cost 10 times what I paid for my Paradigm speakers. The S3 is really night and day compared to my Paradigm speakers but I still enjoy what I have.
Thanks. The tributes were nice speakers! I've seen and heard them several times in the past. I've stated on this channel after hearing a bunch of Magico, I'm not really a fan of their sound. Just not my taste but they are well engineered speakers for sure.
You should hear the B&W 801 D4 Signature, it's impressive, but they should be for $55k.
Yeah would love to hear them. Saw Andrew Robinson's glowing review. I've never really taken to the B&W sound however and I've heard the standard 801 D4s several times and just thought they were "good". Never blown away by any of the B&W speakers TBH. But, still I've heard great things about the signatures.
@@TruTechnoGamer I watched the same review by Andrew. I remember hearing the 801's (not sure the version) on the McIntosh 601's and thought they had a very wide sound stage, but when I played "No Sanctuary Here" from the Chris Jones Roadhouses and Automobiles album, I though it lacked the speed. I have a pair of Focal 1028be speakers that sound good, but a little hot with my Sim Audio, so we'll see if the tubs of my McIntosh MA12000 can make them sing.
Really nice! Huge upgrade to the Paradigms.
Yep that was the idea 😉
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Keep it up king, cool upgrade!
Thanks! Will do!
The lab? I like it!
Thx
Great video! Loving the progress!
Thanks 😉
Nice upgrade. Whars your pkans for the prime elevations? Also, I recommend the 85 inch Sony XR90 Bravia 9 for the TV upgrade. It's the perfect ally for your system.
Right now, I don't have much plans for the Prime elevation. Just keep them around as they are pretty versatile speakers and not very expensive. Might give them to a friend or something if it comes up. Bravia 9 is a nice TV. Still haven't seen one in person but we'll see 😉
@@TruTechnoGamer You need to go out and see one in person - amazing. contrast, black levels are impressive. Take cinema home.
We will be upgrading our 77inch C2 to a 83inch G4 this Black Friday.
Nice
Would have loved the seen how the speakers are able to be mountable. For example, you said the speakers are able to be aimed, but as well as left to right. Does that also include downwards and upwards.
These are mountable in the same way as the prime elevation speakers and there are a number of videos available of folks mounting those. The angling of the speaker is solely based on the position of the bracket both in terms of position on the wall/ceiling and rotation of the bracket. Technically the speaker itself doesn't move or adjust but with careful bracket installation, you can add rotation and some tilt if you want.
Do you ever get a crinkled neck? I am always amazed at how people place TV's way above the eye level, as if they are *Atmos TV's* meaning you have to look upwards to watch🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 I have my 65" TV just 18 inches off the floor, and still feel it is way to high 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ummm....no my neck is fine. My TV is really not that high and I've seen plenty of people with their TVs mounted much higher (over fireplaces or on huge walls). My theater seats (like most theater chairs including professional ones) have a slight incline when you're sitting all the way back so you're never really looking straight on. Add to that how the seats have an automatic recline function to go back even further which is how we usually watch movies and the TV is placed pretty perfectly for my setup. I would really only have about another 5-6 inches to lower it in order to clear the center channel speaker on top of my stand.
