why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

I've recently jumped into the very deep end of the pool with interconnects for my 2 new dacs.

I purchased a set of Tara Labs Grandmaster Evolution w/HFX 1.5m XLR's for my Trinity Dac. these are the ones with the floating shield design and dual monoblock HFX ground system.

sorry to say that these cables indeed are the real deal. what they do is astonishing in terms of noise floor and revealing detail and musical refinement.

I've ordered another set of these in 2m RCA's for my Lampizator Golden Gate.

I wish they did not do what they do; but now that I've heard it there is no going back.

my system does allow for all the benefits of these 'uber' cables to come through. my new dart preamp enables them to shine.

crazy good!

don't listen if you might be tempted. I made that mistake.

Acman, every comment has context, and I don't have the time or inclination to explain why Tonkay's comment wasn't a personal attack as you assume, but an expression of frustration and mirth in equal measure created by an audiophile anomaly we affectionately call "Captain Cobalt".

It is my observation that when we resort to personal attacks it usually says more about us than the people we are attacking, Been there, done that.

Well said!

Mitch 2,

Those were great comments and I really think you really nailed it on the head. Thank you.

On my system I started out with DIY and inexpensive cables ($50-$100), but was never really completely satisfied with any of them so I decided to try more expensive ones ($300-$500) and did hear improvements. However, it was not unitl I hit the ($900-$1,000+) range did I become completely satisfied with their sound. And since I am completely satisfied at this level I feel no urge to up the ante. If anyone out there is curious I'd suggest finding cables which retail for twice the cost of your current ones and try to get a trial on YOUR system, or purchase used to try for least risk. You might be surprised. I was.
