On YouTube if you look up Audio Science Review, Amir who is an engineer tested a $1500 Audioquest interconnect that actually measured poorly compared to cheap stuff.
Some "afficionados" will tell you measurements mean nothing since there are so many unmeasureable characteristics of sound that affect what you hear (bullshit) ! Oh, and how can you judge when you haven't owned.
I build my own power cables and interconnects. No need for Nordost Odin ointerconnects and Kubala Sosna speaker cables (ONLY $30,000 for a 10' pair). Scamerola!

Cables make a difference for those who can hear it and have systems that can resolve tonality differences.
But what flabbergasts me is how a power cable can improve the sound. . It was not subtle when I put the Cardas Clear Beyonds on my Bryston 28 mono blocks.
I now have them on my preamp and phono preamp.
Too many audio wonks want to measure everything. One guy told me how I could take measurements so I’d know when my amps went from Class A to AB
No need for that I responded. I can hear when they do that. Never heard another peep out of him.
Yeah, audio is my serious hobby. Far more money in that than my BRZ.
