I'm curious about what you think the purpose of an audio cable is.

I mean, the obvious answer is that its purpose is to transfer a signal, but the same could be said of your components as well, they also have a processing job to do.

When I see cables being described as bright, heavy, musical I can't help but stop and think of the time that I spend mixing music and the differences that can be cajoled out of the same set of information by fiddling with the EQ settings, distortion, reverb ect....

What do you use cables for? What differences have you noticed? What do you think of cable pricing, or the sub-industry of cabling on the whole?

Cheers,
