Cable Questions

[A. Vivaldi]

<font color='#000000'>Has anyone ever tested two different cables from the same company? Like say... Monster cables top of the line vs their mid price level? If so, what were the results? I'm curious.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I can't answer your question exactly, being this is not the brand I use, but I believe if you go with double shielded, that should be good enough. I use Tara Labs lowest double shielded grade. It is middle of the line and works perfect.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I've done my own listening tests with Straightwire and DH Labs.  I thought I head a difference initially but when I had someone else switch the cable while I was blindfolded, the differences were not there.  This is part of the reason why I make my own cables.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Thanks, I should have been more specific, but what I was asking about was if any professionals at audioholics or any major publications with testing equipment ever tested two different cables from the SAME company. I used Monster Cable as an example. I'd be curious to know what the differences were, if any, between their most expensive cable/interconnects and their cheapest, as far as their claimed sound improvment goes.</font>
