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.

+1 Elizabeth. I have to say I thought only women did that. Maybe they don't and men do. I don't know, but it is very silly.

I'm not a moderator - just a member here like you.  I can't delete your posts. I think the posts of yours that get deleted are when you try to move the conversation offline so that you can resume your $25K "listening test" hustle.  There's no problem as long as the conversation remains here.

No, you're superman, capable of the impossible, and who purportedly can hear the difference when ordinary speaker wire is reversed.

You’re either be silly, or just argumentative - I never made any such claim. Never. I did express an interest in testing the audible differences between cables - including directionality - in what would be an objective, scientific test. But I never speculated on the outcome of such a test. Please get your facts straight.

If you are now admitting that you *cannot* hear the difference when ordinary speaker wire is reversed, then you and I have nothing to discuss/communicate on or offline.

Don’t worry. Your accusatory statements, such as but not limited to, "your $25K "listening test" hustle" have been recorded and reported to the moderator.
