hdorre Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yes, some have a higher strand count and use more copper (a higher percentage.) Its just like power cable, it just transfers audio signal.

walwalka Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 You bet there is, anyone who says the cheapest 16 foot is just as good as the most expensive is wrong. There is a point where so are just to much but there is a difference.

jdl01gt Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 so if there is a difference which ones are good Quote 07 Corolla S 2-p3 15's in a custom fiberglass box powered by a p1001bd, Fosgate punch series components that hit 140.1 on Term Lab 07 Magnum R/T 1-??? sub powered by RF 2500-1bd, Big 3, 2-shuriken bt-120 batteries. 99 Ford F-150 Reg Cab 2-10in Powerbass ps subs in a MTX Thunderform box Powered by ASA1000.1.

soundman72 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Wow...i'm surprised no one has blown this up. Short answer- not at all. Long answer- maybe. There have been tests with "certified audiophiles" where they had a blind test and still couldn't tell the difference between the cheapest cables possible and some of Pears multi-thousand dollar units. Yes sometimes they can get it right- but statistically they haven't proven themselves. Now- If you are wanting the best quality, then RCAs are probably not your WHOLE problem. If they are damaged or what not, yes they can cause issues, but if you have a good set of RCAs they will be all you need. The biggest difference you'll find will be transferring signal over something better than RCAs. Like fiber/optical/digital. suggested brands? Go to google and type in "RCA cables"; click shopping, then find a price you like. Personally I hate MONSTER CABLE and anything they touch. Their asshole of a owner has been doing all kinds of BS for years and I treat them like Walmart; only buying from them when I have too. http://monstercable1.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walwalka Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I use the Knukonceptz Krystal RCA's and they are awesome, well built and fairly inexpensive.

But these are test not everyday real world tests, Who knows what the RCA's and other cables come in contact everyday. I love my Monster HDMI cables for one reason, I can take a pair of pillars to the HDMI connector and I can't rip it out like I can on 75% of other cables. I'm not saying they are the best, But They do a great job. However I don't pay retail for the monster cable so the 36 bucks I pay for a 8ft 1000 series it is well worth it.

bassl0va Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I know this guy who uses cables with silver conductors, he says he can hear the difference, I call BS on that, but it's up to him. So, I say, use whatever you can afford.
