why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

I have spent way to much money chasing audiophile heaven with all types of cable designs and materials...my myopic conclusion is that MIT DELIVERS THE GOODS! Now if you have owned as many cables as I have and compared them to MIT in your system, you may come to a different conclusion. My experience, which is substantial, confirmed to me that only a cable system that actually addresses the issues surrounding signal transfer can actually give you real results and not just tonal abberations and frequency variations, which may or may not please your ear subjectively.

I have no doubt whatsoever with your findings, it's just the tone.

I actually wish I could afford to try the expensive cables out there. I don't begrudge anyone who can. My point is that there are not two camps here decrying each other nor the need to put the wagons in a circle.

All the best,

Maplegroove,

You tell it like it is. I really appreciate that.

@Dave, I'm glad you found good synergy in your system with MIT cables. They are very good. Just curious if you auditioned Swedish Jorma cables?

@nonoise. Point taken. I guess we should by and enjoy what we want and can hear. We all have opinions and different hearing. Enjoy your system as well as the other points of view on the thread. Hard to read for me too.
