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

I've always paid special attention to anyone that calls me an idiot, that's always a good start. Couple that with a strong opinion on what I should or should not do with my own money, obviously a winning combo.

Still ANOTHER vote for the Fidelium.
Guess my ears are defective.......

Wow cleeds you are right, that really is a heaping bowl of word salad! Plebian! He threw "plebian" in there! "Oracular golden ear pontiffs"! Shouldn't it be "oracular golden eared pontiffs"? Either way, I resemble that remark!

@millercarbon where are you located? I would love to come by for a listen!

bigkidz-Sorry, only just now noticed your question.  

I am just east of Seattle in Redmond. A long trip to be sure but worth it, we have one from NH and another from TX coming in August. Krissy and Rick, both of whom have contributed greatly to the wonderful sound we have been able to achieve here. They are each bringing some things, and together with what we already have on hand it is sure to be an ambitious few days of critical listening. You are welcome to join us. Or for a more relaxed experience with everything nicely settled in you are welcome any time. 

If you believe you hear it, fine.
But don’t lay your alleged superiority on all the rest of us.

I have a much better idea. How about the hearing impaired not frequenting an audiophile forum?

Sparing your feelings isn’t a valid reason to dumb down the forum.
