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.

I don't set a predetermine budget on anything and buy what sounds best to my ear.    My neighbor has $150K full loom of Stage 3 cables.    I respect his decision.   He's successful, earned the money and happy with the results.  Who am I or anyone to criticize his decision.

I don't find any member suggesting one has to spend x amount of dollars but just recommending different products.  Some happens to be expensive.
I'm  sure they did, great speakers...did you have a chance to compare cables on them?
 As a parting statement . Whatever floats your boat . Stop telling me and anyone else reading this we have to spend big bucks to be happy or that we are listening to subpar fidelity . Peace out .
"Who's to say some spool wire at Home Depot will not float someones boat"

I agree, for many reasons - poor, non-resolving gear, poor hearing and perception affected by strong belief that all wires sound alike.  
 
This sums up my whole point . He was a stranger i had just met . Why would i feel the need to tell him what cables he should be using ? Same goes here on the forum with your my opinion of what cables need to be used to get great sound .
