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.

High fidelity is more transparent quieter backgrounds and better prat. . Clarity has a more extended top end with a little bump in the upper midrange. Which my system needed a little of.  I like my cymbals to ride a little bit!

I have to say I am using Transparent Ultra Gen 5 cables with my new Focal Kanta No.2’s (Krell amplification and Yamaha CD S2100) ....just absolutely riveting!  So lifelike on all levels...shockingly realistic to the point of enveloping me in the acoustic and textures of the original event. Never have I heard audio reproduced so compelling and alive with every last ounce of low level details coupled with such a massive dynamic range and glorious harmonics.

and again, if you buy used, especially cables, you can often sell in a few years for no/little loss...
People almost never sell our cables. They keep them. Very rare on the used market. Everything else in the system goes, and repeatedly...but not the cables. There’s no where else to go...

Send me some Teo cables and I’ll give them a fair evaluation against my Transparent cables:). It’s the least I can do!
