How a speaker cable affects sound quality
If you’re outfitting your home theater, then most likely, you’ve spent a great deal of care selecting the speakers to go with it. You want your surround sound to be just as crisp and clear as the image on your new hi def television set, so you’ve gone out of your way to get the best quality speakers and arrange them perfectly to get the full surround sound experience.
So now you’re shopping for speaker cables, and you want to make sure you’re getting the good cables so as not to render that investment on the speakers moot. After all, you don’t spend a thousand bucks setting up your surround sound system only to use the cheapest speaker cables available right?
Wrong.
Trust us, get the one dollar speaker cables.
When you go into an electronics store to get your speaker cables, you always bump into a pushy sales clerk who insists that with a gold plated, oxygen free, fifty dollar speaker cable, you’re going to get fifty times better sound than you would out of the one dollar cable.
The only thing you’re going to get out of the fifty dollar cable is an empty wallet. If you’re outfitting a full surround system, you might wind up spending well over another thousand bucks trying to go all out on the fancy cables, where you could’ve had the same setup for ten bucks if you’d gotten the cheaper cables. But don’t worry, when you have it all installed, you’ll find out where that extra thousand bucks went: Into the store’s cash register, because it sure didn’t go into improving your sound quality.
A CD or an MP3 is really nothing but a bunch of computer data. It’s just digital information, really. Now of course, if you’re playing a vinyl-record, that’s a different story. Likewise if you’re running over one hundred meters of wire, or have done some scientific tests in your listening area and discovered this or that cable to be far superior to any other. Otherwise, don’t waste a bunch of time worrying about the quality of a speaker wire.
Setting up the full “entertainment zone†in your living room can be a lot of fun, and you do want it to be as good as it can be, or why bother spending so much? So, when it comes to speakers, go ahead and splurge on a top brand. When it comes to your HDTV, get the biggest, most hi-def TV you can safely afford. When it comes to the cables… go scrounge some change from your couch cushions and get the cheapest stuff available, because it’s going to do exactly what the fifty dollar cable will do, minus, of course, making you fifty dollars poorer.
And of course, if you’re that eager to be parted from your hard earned money, you can always buy the one dollar cable and drop forty nine in the charity bucket on the way out. Hey, if you insist on spending an extra forty nine dollars for no good reason, it may as well be for a good cause, because no matter what anyone tells you, the one dollar cables will give you the exact same sound as the fifty dollar speaker cables.
