How much money for your next interconnect cable???

I believe there were time people just looked at you and shout " you are crazy" when they heard how much money you have to paid for your interconnect cables. Even more so if they found out how much money we reselled them on audiogon after a short period of time (same thing happen to our audio component). And it will freak them out if they know again how much money for your next purchases. I know we just laugh and ignored their disbelieve. Anyways, do you plant to buy your new interconnect cables? If so, what is your budget and how do you gain your wife or significant patner acceptance!??!?!!!

Please include brands, models and why do you think this/these cable/s will improve your system.

My system include: Krell KRC-3, Krell kav-1500, krell FPB-200, CJ DR-1, CJ premier-11, Bench Mark DAC-1, Classe SSP-60, Sony DVD 9000ES, VPI scout Sig, Theil 3.6, Triangle Tratos Luna, Definitive Tech Ref, PS power plant-600, Shunyata Hydra 4, Monster HTS-5000s, Kimber Hero cables, Nordost Heimdall, Nordost Blue haven, Tranparent Ultra XL cables, Mit Shotgun cables, PS audio-Extream power cords.

Edo_musica, It is a great system you have. You could find some good basic cables and interconnects for $75-$100 but trust me, cable are vey importance. I know a lot of people would not go 100% for there cable but it is not a good idea. If you have more budget go for it.
Yeah this territory is new for me. Just today I am deciding on AudioArt v. Guerilla v. VH Audio ICs for the DAC. pricing for the 2 pair I need is $190 to $450. At the high end that is nearly 50% of the unit which to which they will be connected. Again, this is new territory for me.

enjoy your music ~ed

Decision made.
'Going for the most-est, from the candidates in my lineup that is: the venhaus pulsar IC with silver bullets. If I don't hear a difference/appealing sound I'll return them.
So put me down for $440 or 7% of my system's value for the main source IC.

enjoy your music ~ed

Way to go. I think your system back ground will be improved and soundstage will be deeper and wider.

gentlemen:

today i became a ware of a cable innovation--an active tube cable. essentially, the cable intrfaces a black box which has a tube socket and takes a 12au7 tube. the box then luhgs into an outlet. the cable allows for vriation in tube and line cord. the designer of the cable may not go into production because of the cost and intricacies of design and production.

i intend to speak with the designer tioday or tomorrow.
ihave not reveleaked the company name at this time.

it would be a shame if this cable were not commercially available. it represents a true innovation, regardless of the obvious considerations regarding accuracy and neutrality.

i will keep you informed about this.

I thought Aural Thrills was working on a cable like this.
