What do $2500 speaker cables sound like?

Plus, I believe that whatever money one has spent on renting equipment from Cable Company, that money gets put in a "pot". If you decide to purchase something now or down the road, that pot money gets deducted from your purchase price.

@devilboy,
Good additional point and further incentive if someone like @jumia truly wants to sort out the issue of cable performance/sound quality. The opportunity and resources are readily available.

They sound FAR too expensive for me.

For high-end interconnects. I always go into a set of interconnects with great skepticism. Normally I will have just upgraded one or more components, so I am calibrated as to what it cost me for the component (cost per sound improvement) I just bought. So, the sound of the interconnects need to make me feel like it is worth the money... like I have no alternative.. because of the improved sound. It is always a question of bang for the buck... get the most out of an existing component, or save it for a component upgrade.

.

This is why it is best to try interconnects either from a dealer or rent. Or just buy some fairly inexpensive ones that are well reviewed. Just yesterday my dealer brought by a $2,500 digital interconnect for fun for me to try (my current interconnect was $2,000 Transparent). It made my system sound bad... brittle, glasslike, not better. Did not need to do any thinking about it... it sounded terrible. This is not common, but sometimes high quality interconnects do not sound better in your system. It should not be a hard choice... it should be easy, or it is a waste of money.

To me its all sooo convuluded

Yes, it is, but it can be figured out with a bit of research.

If you post your cable budget and/or your audio components, you’ll receive many suggestions that will help narrow your search.

A good place to start understanding the science of audio cables, Google “iconoclast cables white paper” then click on a white paper link.

Although no direct experience with “Silversmith Fidelium” speaker cables, from what I read it appears to be a rare audio bargain.  Even though I already have $6k speaker cables, I might try a pair of the Fidelium.
