Are audiophiles out of their minds for spending (relatively) large amounts of money on cables?
Having been in the business and seen the margins on expensive cables, and having heard the frankly BS stories attached to many of them, first reaction is "yes, that's ludicrous."
But:
It's no crazier than what some people do with cars, or boats, or bicycles, or travel, or furniture, etc. If it makes people happier, then how crazy is it? Sure, if someone is spending the mortgage payment on an interconnect, that's a poor choice, but let's be real - most of us aren't doing that.
It's all for fun, so have fun!
