Ethernet cables


Hello everybody!

I would like to have your opinions about Ethernet cables. I recently saw some silly expensive Ethernet cables! Do you think it is worth spending a huge amount for a cable which transfers data? Your thoughts please! 
Thank you!

all cables sound the same man!

btw, all speakers sound the same, and all food wine coffee tastes the same, and all cars drive the same

later dude...

🤣

it is never worth spending a 'huge' amount of money on any cable, lan cables included - relative to the rest of your system, your major components

but it IS absolutely worth spending a decent/reasonable amount of money to make sure you have good quality cables, well constructed, using quality materials

how much is reasonable? it depends on your ears your system your spending power....

for a good primer on why digital signal transfer can be subject to sonic differences, the first 3 minutes of this video serves up a simple and well stated explanation -- hans has more detailed and lengthy videos discussing this topic but this one serves as a quickie tutorial

I try not to think about it.  Typing this isn't helping.

lol -- to worry about such issues is indeed indicative of our having first world problems in this forum !!!
