Re: Wave Theory. This video is very informative. It’s worthwhile to watch the whole thing.
What % Of Your System Are Your Cables?
IMO, the “10% rule” for cable expenditure really should be stated as “when you’re building a new system and you have a limited budget, allocate 10% to cables” and I think this is a good idea. But again IMO, this is not necessarily the stopping point. I recently purchased some new cables and I was wondering, hopefully without getting into the cable debate, what percentage of your system do you have invested in cables? No need to go into brands or actual cost, unless you want to. With my new purchase, I would say I’m around 25% depending on whether you count my analog rig as part of the system price, as I did not buy any new cables for the TT, because my TT has captive cables. Probably up to about 30% without the analog. I understand the percentage numbers can be highly deceiving if you bought used. 25% used is probably about 50% of your system price if you bought new. Anyway, just curious to see what you’re doing with cables. Be well.

My cable investment is not as profound as yours. But increasingly, I am moving into the cables matter more than you think camp. Adding new very expensive cables continues to transform my system. Each time, I think it cannot get better but it does. Reassuring to hear that this is true for others as well. |
@roadcykler I really do think/know it all matters. Redoing internal wiring will void warranties. Many components have high grade/high specifications for internal wiring. Wish I did in me too (Many do yard out crossovers so there’s that.)
