It's not hard to get caught up in the hype especially when you are trying to get the most out of your system and want to fine tune it but I'm convinced that we want to believe that a ten thousand dollar cable should and will make a huge difference in spite of the fact that all logic says other wise (diminishing returns). Any audiophile with experience knows that cabling is system dependent regardless of it's cost.
If you built an addition on to your house and the electrician told you that he could install electrical wire that would dramatically improve the performance of anything plugged into it but it would cost you a $100.00 a foot would you go for it?
