What say you?

Amazing posts, and not in a good way. Who decides or who comes up with a the magic formula of value/percentage of cable costs to determine if somebody overspent? 
It’s crazy for MC to spend $10k on cables for the caliber of his system, but it’s not crazy to spend $30k on cables for somebody that has a hifi system with quality products worth say $200k. It’s absurd for anyone to say if you spend more than $3 a foot, you are a fool. To these people, either get a set of new ears or a quality system that allows you to hear better components.

The comment on overspending on cables, can’t you say the same thing about over spending on an amp? Speakers? Dac? Cartridge? If somebody has a $2000 system, it would be crazy to spend $10k on a dac, but it would also be crazy to spend $1k on a dac in a $200k system.

let your ears be the judge not some fictitious value/formula

Let me get this straight. It is crazy for me to spend $10k on cables "for the caliber" of my system. Which is a fictitious value/formula. But it's not crazy to spend $30k on their $200k system. Which is a fictitious value/formula. 

Amazing post, and not in a good way.

To note that the 'cable conundrum' has a certain longevity in discussion is like saying a centipede doesn't have enough legs...

Although my equipment is not SOTA...or even 'sorta sota-ish' is a given on my part, it still strikes me that 'this vs. that' cable is still just creating a very subtle form of eq.

Not saying it's not happening, just on a level that so subtle that only what one hears different is only due to a long-standing familiarity with ones' equipment.

If B vs. Q cables are subjected to measurement, any discernable 'differences'  may be buried in the fog of the waterfall.

I'm Not implying that You can't hear it.  3$/ft.>300$/ft., one would hope....

Just don't expect me to, given that I may have just came over for a listen. ;)
