We compare inexpensive cables to some of the exotics to see how the cheap stuff fares. The results may surprise you as we are all about applying real science to audio, not the marketing fluff.

Respect Gene for giving the answer at the beginning of the video, and then elaborating on the topic, instead of the other way around!
"The answer is no." Subscribed.
I love that he gives the answer to the question right in the beginning. Now I actually want to watch the full video just out of respect
What is really special is that some people spend more on audio cables than I do on RF cables for 40 GHz testing. I really admire Gene's stamina on being wiling to address this issue for the people with amnesia about the last time they asked about audio cables.
Love how you're still giving the middle finger to these scam artist cable companies. Wish more people would wake up to them. Thanks Gene!!
If you want better sound, invest in better speakers.
I am a big fan of Audioholics. That said, I reluctantly watched this video thinking this was yet another rant of Gene's about a bad experience he had with a cable vendor or manufacturer. Not that that is not interesting; I was shocked about the situation he encountered at a recent audio show last year. But I thought this video was going to be redundant... On the contrary, I instead got a lot out of this video as it was a good summary of the science. Thank you once again for another informative and interesting video, Gene. Keep them coming!
The fact that this is even worth a video is just sad, man. This industry is full of shit sometimes.
Gene!!
Thank you ! Straight forward info with no unnecessary bs ! Using 10' runs of 8pr with hybrid tube amp with Salk monitors! Great affordable system with immense sound stage depth ! Been listening to audio for over fifty years, and I am satisfied with this one !!
After getting the straight up answer, I stayed to listen to the entire video. Tell me the answer and then explain, perfect format. Subscribed!
Gene, thanks for this video and others like it. It’s refreshing to get explanations and analysis based in science and engineering rather than audio fantasy. You perform a vital service for the audio enthusiast community.
Blue jeans all the way. My wife doesn't get near my system so what it looks like.... Doesn't matter!
Gene!
Cheers Gene. Once again brother, another good honest video. Saying hello from the UK. ✌👍
Monoprice cl2 in wall 14 awg is what I use,great job gene,
People freaking out over speaker cable quality must have never seen the cheap a$$ wires going from the circuit board to the terminal inside the amp
Thanks for not dumbing this down too much. Some of it was over my head but that’s how you learn. Great video!
WOW! What an outstanding explanation and recommendations! Just incredible and such a refreshing presentation. Bravo!
Great video Gene. I have handcrafted my own cable with a total Awg of 6, more or less, which outperforms a solid core silver monocrystal cable of 100 times more expensive. I wanted to prove the expensive high end Audio industry wrong and yes Gene you are right. Exotic speaker cables are pure Snake Oil.
