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

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..

Regards

If you like listening to lamp cord, no problem. Listen to lamp cord.

I do not want to say they sound more natural.  Maybe more balanced than what I am used to

"Does this basic speaker wire sound better than cables many times the price?"

Not in my system, but apparently in your system.

I do find speaker cables make less difference than interconnects or power cables.
