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.

"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 .

I'm NOT telling anyone, one must spend X amount to get a good sound.   Like I said, I think most members are just sharing their experiences.  It's your money so do as you wish.  Why do I care?

Exactly , Who cares ? i sure do not . Some others wish everyone would spend more money on cables for some reason . Are they affiliated or making money some how ? If it is a livelihood i understand the fever determination to have that stance . Otherwise it is just the get what i have mentality .
