Quote:Originally Posted by flyng_fool I see your point now. And yes, there are some out there that are so cheap that they will not perform well. I would rather spend a bit more on a manufacturer that uses quality connectors over...

For the most part I agree. I was just stating that the connectors are a factor in relation to what was mentioned. I personally don't believe they have a perceivable impact on quality, nor have I heard it, again, in the respect that was...

Quote:Originally Posted by Bill Fitzmaurice The only factors that define cable performance are resistance, capacitance, inductance and, in the case of interconnects, percentage of shielding. The connector does not enter into the...

Quote:Originally Posted by flyng_fool Yes it is, as long as you get the proper gauge for the distance. Otherwise there is zero difference. I mean, it was just mentioned right there... By your philosophy, I'm guessing you also think...

Quote:Originally Posted by flyng_fool Zero difference. Wire is wire. That's not true, especially over long distances.

Quote:Originally Posted by Bill Fitzmaurice The OP. Read the thread title. And then you, with your original question. I have no idea why you brought interconnect cables into a speaker cable discussion. WHAT?! Obviously! I know...
