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.

I’m enjoying a system has virtually no cables or power cords, not so much for the cost issue but the distortion and noise issue. Once you eliminate all the power cords, interconnects, speaker cables and fuses you realize how much distortion and noise all those things bring to the table. Of course, the cost savings of such a set-up is not something to be taken lightly. 😛

If two products have like quality, durability, appearance and performance but one is more expensive than the other why is the cheaper one not the better value? This does not seem difficult to understand. 

What other parameters would one use to assess a products value compared to others? Again if as dynaquest4 stated they are of like quality, durability, appearance and performance.

@jmcmgrogan...thanks for the laughs!
