In my post I put the initials twwritg. The means the one who responds is the guy. The guy who thinks that we all are fools and he is the smart guy of reason. Typical I'm right and y'all are crazy and wrong. Typical of audiophiles who thinks they are normal and reasonable. The fool tells someone else what they should do with ones money. Typically you ended up with the money because you were smart enough to put yourself in a position to even have a system and afford the hobby. Lol. Will every high end cable be better than cheaper ones? No. It depends on the match in your system. Purchase a higher priced match and in most cases it will sound better.
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.

Audiolabrynth: saw your question on the Tara thread asking about what all my system is composed of in total; it's posted here under All-Out-Assault under my userID. Please feel free to check it out and also please (several of us have suggested this on various threads), please do the same for your system including pics. Thanks! |
11-26-15: Maplegrovemusic More materials, cost more and there is more opportunity for mark up. No one disagrees with that. It has also been my experience in my room that the fancy jackets/layering does have an "affect" on the sound depending on the application. Here is a personal example of this In this picture are two of my personal phono cables The one on the left is a custom loom made for me, to my specs. The one on the right is my Purist Audio Venustas cable. The Purist Audio cable costs 5-6 times as much (maybe more now - 8^0 - as my custom loom, and it is used with the stock wiring that comes with a tonearm. Connects to the back of it for those not into vinyl here. My custom loom is a straight shot. The custom loom plays in a different league in my room. More immediacy, bigger pipe of sound, blah, blah, blah.... Now if I was wire crazy I could have 5 or 6 custom looms made up with different wire types to match the cost of one Purist Audio Venustas. The tonearm's design allows for changing out this loom in 10-15 minutes. |
"Typically you ended up with the money because you were smart enough to put yourself in a position to even have a system and afford the hobby." Something tells me you don't live in the US. Over here, typically someone does go out and work for the money. Quite often, though, someone else ends up with it. |
