why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

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..

Why do others feel the need to ask why? Hmmmm? Watching another man's pockets! Oh no it's worse at Hong another man's cables!!!

It really makes me laugh HAAARD folks.
I read the story of Joshua Bell who spent his last penny to become an owner of Stradivarius just because he loved playing it and loved this sound and he couldn't let it to some dumb billioneaire... PURE RESPECT to maestro!!!
Keep going with your good sounding wires LMFAO!

Update...I just ordered some new MIT CABLES...expensive? Not when you consider how much more enjoyable my listening sessions are with them installed!

"IMPORTANT: Use the best available speaker wires and interconnects. Audio Research cannot emphasize this enough. As better components and systems are developed, it becomes increasingly important to avoid the limitations of inferior system interconnections."

From the owner's manual for Model Reference 210, among others in their line. If your cables are performing underneath your system's capability, then you are not hearing your system. Build them or buy them--you cannot scrimp on cords and cables. Don't listen to the Home Depot, zip wire, lamp cord, power strip adherents--unless you want their mid-fi sound.
