cable doubter no more

i was once one that thought high end cables were just a waste of money. i upgraded my system and purchased all ps audio cables. these were replacing signal cables, i heard a clear improvment. i was satisfied, and believed my currant componenets were as good as it would get with them. i then went to the R.M.A.F. and lusted after all the great sounding gear. but my ears were bigger than my wallet. but after finding some good deals on some dh labs revelations, and a set of analysis plus blackovals, my system has been transformed. im talking a good 20% by 2 sets of interconnects and a set of speaker cables. im blown away by the improvement. to all you cable doubters out there sorry YOU ARE WRONG !! just wanted to get that out there , thanks for reading.

The transition of going from talking about cables to electronics is not as smooth. To answer your questions head on: Price alone is neither indicative of a component's performance (objectively) nor of its sound (subjectively)!
Carlos,
Why can't we throw the same blanket over power cords and interconnects?

Jea48,

Surely we can.

Its a lot cheaper and easier to switch from one decent wire to another, especially when one buys used. Wires are also low risk used compared to more complex audio technologies and they tend to depreciate in value from new just like other gear.

Also one can get carried away regarding the price/value proposition with most anything, not just stereo gear.
