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.

Gdhal, "Untrue, to the extent there is any audible distinction a human can detect with the naked ear."

This is not true there is research to suggest that while our ears may not have responses noted in the brain of anything over 16k Hz, in noting the pleasure center of the brain on high fidelity recording when the highs above 16k are removed pleasure drops sharply.

Apparently there are other means by which the brain becomes aware.

But in reality no one is obligated to prove they hear differences in cables. You never are asked to prove that you don't hear a difference.

I might add that nobody ever asks why people buy expensive cars, wines, tvs, or steaks. What are you objective measures for these?

I don't give two hoots what you like.

I ask my wife all the time why she buys expensive things?  🙂
