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.

The audioquest web page you refer to is applicable to interconnects, not "ordinary" speaker wire.

I’m interested. One exception though. Namely, that the protocol first be discussed in private.
Why? Why the secrecy? What are you afraid of?

Certain communications are inappropriate given current forum policy. Sorry.
Audioquest controls directionality for all of their interconnects, speaker cables, power cords and HDMI cables. I just got a string sense of den by. Oh, that’s because I just said that. Do a little investigation, you know, being a real skeptic and everything.
