Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1

All this comes down to "high-end" and "price".  Both of those mean nothing to me.  A cable either makes a difference in ones system or it doesn't.  That being said, I am not a cable junkie but recently heard a speaker cable that made more of an impact that I had previously heard with many other cables.  It also made the same impact in three completely different systems.  One more that the other two but it was there.

So if you don't hear a significant change in your system - so what - another person may hear a bigger impact in their system then you do.  So what?   The question still remains - how much are you willing to pay for that change for your system?

Happy Listening.

It is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it may be the end of the beginning.   

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

It is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it may be the end of the beginning.  

So....intermission?! 

"The price of luxury goods is not based solely on production costs, it is dependent on the value perceived by the consumer. The pricing strategy is simple: How much is the consumer willing to pay to achieve this status, quality, and extra-ordinary experience?

If the product sells, it's because it meets a consumer need."

I agree.  The conflict occurs when people need others to share their same beliefs.  Not sure why this is even a debate - value is uniquely established when weighed against a set of personal standards.  Judge for yourself, vote with your wallet, and let others do the same.

"The conflict occurs when people need others to share their same beliefs"

This should be inscribed at the beginning of every thread, here, as we are all susceptible to such behavior. Of course, such wisdom is of little use,  absent sufficient self-awareness, which is perhaps the more fundamental problem.
