Rca cable

Say my cable is worth 25€.. will an upgrade to a shielded 120€ cable be a noticeable upgrade?

I thought you didn't care if it made a difference or not

Nordost vs Audioquest

I hear cables with fuses in them are the special ones.

These type of posts should just have one response - like everything in hi-fi, this is very subjective since the rest of your kit, your speakers, room acoustics, preferences, beliefs, ears and brain are different, so try it and decide for yourself whether it’s worth the outlay.

Honestly out of all the cables in my collection (none were expensive) the cables that provide the best sound are a random pair of very basic looking cables from the 70s, not even sure if they're shielded, or where I found them, they look like cost a few cents, but they sound great.

If you like how it sounds, then just enjoy the music, after all, it's what this is all about

That's why I moved it to the off topic forum.

Probably not, but given the miles and miles of Tin wiring & solder that's inside the circuits of most hifi equipment, that's really the least of our worries, and we can't do much about the tin.

Otherwise known as the forum to discuss the sex of angels (thanks to @Maurizio for first using that phrase here) or how many of them can dance on the head of a pin?

Now in off topic makes it bit less dangerous ;-)
As a careful warning because the brand was mentioned above. A while ago I looked for some reasonable Nordost XLRs and during that research I have seen a Nordost Odin2 power cable on a Chinese platform for less than 60 €. That meant a discount of ≈ 26.000 €. I decided not to buy ;-)

Doesn't Archimago have some reviews of fake Nordost cables on his blog? I think he liked them.

That would throw a light on the originals ;-)

But they look so damned good. ;-)
