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.

It's obvious - to me anyway - you haven't understood my previous posts in this regard, or you wouldn't ask the question(s) that you do. Carry on....
Oh and cleeds, elizabeth, geoff, et al, I give you my permission - although not my blessing - to spend as much as you like on expensive cables, if you're among those who "feel the need" to. :)

Please feel free to correct me. My understanding is that you've proposed testing the audibility of wire directionality, but whenever anyone expresses interest in such a test, you direct the conversation offline. What part of that do I have wrong?

Just as there was something wrong with the programming of the HAL 9000 computer, you could say it’s a glitch and I won’t mention exactly whose avatar HAL 9000 is.....Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do, I’m half crazy all for the love of you....🎼

The part you have wrong is that I'm *NOT* proposing testing the audibility of wire directionality. I'm proposing *YOUR ABILITY TO HEAR IT* with the naked ear using mutually agreed objective testing. You know, like Amy and Bob.

"Hearing" is something that can only be accomplished offline, true?

Consider yourself "corrected".
