The audio cable debate has also generated a number of myths that have continued to circulate through the years. To clear up some of the misconceptions, we’ve compiled a list of myths and truths to help you make the best decision possible when sorting through the great audio cable debate.
Audio cables have no effect on the performance of your system
Low quality speaker and line-level component connections can be susceptible to different forms of interference and other signal degradation, which has been proven to add noise and affect audio signal quality. Replacing it with properly shielded, high quality cables lets your system perform to its full potential.
Rare Materials and prohibitively expensive engineering techniques are required to make premium audio cables
If cables are rigorously engineered with proven design principles and high quality materials, you can achieve the same level of performance at a fraction of the cost of the mega-expensive cables.
Exotic braiding of audio cables enhances performance
Many cable manufacturers use twisted conductors in their cable to reduce crosstalk and interference noise, but there is no solid evidence to support the claim that intricately braided wires within a cable improve performance. The purity of the cable’s conductive materials and its ability to reject interference have a much more profound effect on performance
Break-in of cables is necessary for optimal performance
This myth is much more subjective as many people claim there are perceptible improvements in sound quality after speaker and audio cables have had time to “break-in” over the first hundred hours or more. Even so, there is no scientific evidence to support an improvement in sound quality and certainly it’s not worth paying for break-in as an added service or feature.
