why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

Simply enjoy what you have and for those who can afford better, so be it.

I've kept all my speaker wires since I've started this hobby and the pay off is worth it. Solid core, multi strand, bare and tinned coated, and it pays to be able to swap out and experiment depending on amp and speakers as there's no one solution.

This can help narrow down what you need to perfect your system to your satisfaction, and if necessary, narrow down you choices on where to go next.

Aside from that, I don't know where to go next with this thread.

All the best,

g) something else maybe ...

Yes I'm going to keep extras from now on to mix and match I just found a match when tube rolled my CD player. You just never. If you can afford the best get them. If you can't be resourceful as possible and get the best you. Or if you think chicken wire works do that but don't judge others because they can do what you can't or choose to do what you won't. lol you know in this hobby we all have to have our music meds. We are all medicating of the music juice. We are not normal Chris Rock plays a drug addict in a movie called New Jack City his eyes are buck wide and his famous scene goes.
