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.

Why can't you get specs from the cable companies and buy strictly on superior specs?  Capacitance, Impedance ...   Remember Julian Hirsch?

Like cables, I don't buy a car strictly on performance spec.   Spec is just 1 parameter.

This is not a subjective difterence. You don’t get behind a wheel of a Kia and watch the porche pass you and say to your self.....hmm this Kia is kicking the crap out of that porche.
Your criteria for superior is performance but someone else might choose ride comfort, size of car ... it’s personal preference.

Same with cables, superior can be more detail, bloom ... You can also measure cables too ... Hello!!! and buy strictly on specs.

BTW, it’s Porsche.

I have a Porsche hat and t-shirt.   They use to build a bicycle but I'll check on the cables with performance specs.

No, they don't make cables.  But they do offer some special edition watches, at much lower prices than a Rolex.  :-)
