Nobody knowing anything about audio needs convincing, that proper power to Hi-Fi/High-End devices, including appropriate cables, is a key thing. You just need to take care of it, and the audio gear will surely return the favor. It is well known what kind of progress can be made with appropriately refined confection, with which I mean the plugs, which are often not regarded as significant, especially by the general public. And while most of the lucky people just plugs into the back of their components whatever they like, a part of the golden eared had to go for compromises, by not using the top of the catalog plugs (which are usually quite big) but their lesser brethren, or even “civilian” plugs. Who am I talking about?
