Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?

One person has to be happy, that’s you! You saved yourself a lot of money.. Lot of folks do the same thing.. Some even DIY..

It’s no difference to anyone else in spite of what THEY think or think they know..

I don’t expect everyone else to agree, BUT they aren’t listening to your system or paying your bills..

Enjoy your new found "pearl".

Mr Mike what is ROI?

Why all the hype for cheap speaker wire? There's no difference in either position, folks should use what they are happy with.

What are you comparing it to?

You may have just proved a point about the differences that can be heard - moving to,quote "higher purity copper" and "hearing things on my records I never heard before", unquote. Like you did, sometimes we just have to try and compare. More expensive is not always better. Finding a good match with your speakers and your system is something that does not always occur on the first try. Most people give up and settle on whatever they buy. It can be fun to find regional colleagues to swap cables with and try it that way too. Whatever works for you.

Thanks builder3. I never though about ROI with cables. BUT I’ve NEVER paid for expensive cables. I’ve use and herd quit a few.

My DIY after years of tinkering and some good cable supplies have matched or bettered what I’ve herd.

I’m not kidding 170.00 usd vs 17,000.00 usd. The ONLY difference was some laser etched blocks.

I used a broken Oak pallet I found on the side of the road.. I pulled the staples and screw nails, cut and fit the pieces, did the router work, sanded it and gave the pieces two coats of urethane..

Our garage creation used a tiny router bit to scroll "Sound Boys" in his finest router free hand.

BTW that guy paid over 12k for one set and 22k for a second of Oden IIs. Not one of our little group picked one over the other.

Some folks like wearing knickerbockers, me double chap canvas or denim with leather work boots.. or JUST work boots.. I’m quit a sight.. :-) oh I forgot. I wear a hat too.

Come on dog.. Time to feed the chickens..
