why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable


I have tried expensive cables and one's moderately priced. I would say there were some differences but I can't actually say the expensive cables were better. IMHO I believe a lot of people buy expensive cables because they don't actual trust their ears and are afraid of making a mistake. They figure the expensive cables are better for the fact they cost more. If you have a difference of opinion or share the same thoughts, I would like to hear about it.

What is the reason a silly expensive cable sounds better than the rest ? Like i have stated before the price of copper is $5 a pound . So , it is not the price of the copper . What's left ? Only referring to copper cables as they are the most popular .

Here comes the name calling.

No Geoff I'm still not going to buy any of your cheapo charlatamica garbage.

So keep your smart --- comments to yourself please and do us all a favor. Go splurge and tweak up your beloved portable disc player or something.

Ask the manufacturers that produce high end cables.

The quality of the copper, and how difficult the design is to build. Have a look at this picture.
