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.

"Also you need to be naive enough to spend substantially more than actually needed. Scenic statement "This is how much $$$$$ I can spend on wires" is completely foolish."

I disagree, although I understand your point. But once you get used to a certain level of income, its extremely hard to do with any less. Here's just one tragic example from my youth. There were a couple of years when my dad couldn't afford a pilot and had to fly himself. Sure, it was our own private jet. But do you have any idea how ashamed we all were to see our father fly his own plane?

As you can see, there's just a little more to all this than being naive. I'm scarred to this day just from that one incident. There's more, but I just don't have the stomach for it right now.
They usually sound better. How much better ? It depends. Maybe not what most people would pay. But it's up to you. If it's worth it to your ears. If you got great equipment feed it the best you can. If you can afford it do it. If you can't don't get mad at the people who can afford it and choose to do it. Don't count another man's pockets.
Zd I really feel the pain of your personal experience. No child should have to endure such a personal humiliation. An example of the basis for temperance of those who would question or worse, perhaps judge? Oh the trials of audiophiles, what a most challenging journey we subject ourselves to endure.

Nein ZD,
I don't think so. You need to grow to understand first.

Thanks, I'd rather listen to $5m Strad of Joshua Bell
Wires should not sound by any possible means and if they do than something is wrong.
Oh well i'll put my Jorma Statements up for sale & place an order on Joshua Bell wire without delay..
