Do no harm to a signal! Does this mean.....

paying $2k for cables is nutty as can be.

How come? Experience or something else?
What about 1k or less, would that be alright?

Virtually every claim made by a cable manufacturer about what their cable does is easily proven with current measurement technology. Ask yourself why they never do.

Because they sell audio products and not testing machinery. But you would not believe them anyway. Easily proven?

Sure ... convenient. Never been able to validate by anyone. The only thing being seasoned and settling is your brain.

No validated as many other things in audio and life. But as a person who claims to accept science you skip physics, and stand behind theory only.

Settling in"? What a lot of BS

The echo.

Utterly amazing.

Yes indeed, they are bored.

We do not have infinite ability to hear changes

You accept then that some people have listening limitations.
hilde45, i like spaghetti too and parmesan.

Some of above comments caught my attention, sorry if you feel offended, i am not twisting anything,  but applied negativeness does not help.
This is an audio forum and listening experiences, most empirical, matter the most.

"...BTW it’s cable not wire... Words Count..."

That would depend on the construction of the "cable".  A pair of un-wound wires or ribbons would not be cables.

telephone wire will work fine. Make sure wire is exposed to absorb oxgen, benefits electron flow.  Lubricate with vaseline.  

@russ69 -- My point exactly....
