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.

people feel the need to buy expensive cables because they lack the technical knowledge to distinguish snake oil sales pitches from real engineering

mystics chants of "everything matters" and "skin effect" are helpful to delude these poor people

you might also ask why are some people anti-VAXers

Science is as much a religion as  any other .
The reason people do anything is a search for meaning and hope .

Of course, the difference is you can have mathematical proof and you can prove physical theories. But you cannot have religious proof.

Noah might beg to differ.  I'll bet he didn't worry too much about cables, as long as his speakers were waterproof.  Happy New Year
