cables act as filters ..the poorer the cable the greater the filtering effect and greater the loss of your music signal ...that includes spatial information

The answer’s no.
No cable can improve soundstage, or anything else for that matter.
Cable filtering in audio bandwidth is a myth of all things.
Rock/pop records usually don’t have any depth. Unprocessed classical recordings only will reveal what a real 3D (natural) stereo soundstage is, regardless of the kind of loom you’re using.
Soundstage, by the way, doesn’t really mean anything: for some people it’s just the precision and stability of instruments and vocalists, and for others – like me – it’s the illusion that you are in a venue, with the back wall disappearing completely.

Hmm. I have a feeling that may attract some comment.Originally Posted by chartz
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

This is my honest point of view as an electrician and a hi-fi nut for 40 years!

Alright then. I will keep the cables only and a NAD 3020I was going to say: Obviously got a broke system! Better fix it. . . .
Just kidding of course. Believe me, I tried very hard, I used to think they made a difference (even sold them when I was a hi-fi salesperson) and I finally gave up about 20 years ago. My electrical/electronic training in mind helped a lot to realise how misled I was.

Or maybe ear syringing..?
This is akin to the 1980's claim that all CD players sound identical.

Martin has a point here regarding Q Sound and ordinary CD's. Well recorded ordinary CD's should sound just as effective.

No they don't! But there are explanations.
I have yet to find a plausible and scientific paper about hi-fi cables you see. My ears are fine, by the way!
