I am sick of cables

Here's the Bizarro parallel recent post that you can reference for further input on a similar subject. There are many others in the archives. I'd agree the diminishing returns are staggeringly steep in the world of cables. Not that they do not make a difference, I'd also find it difficult to justify the cost given the difference they do make. Power cords even more so. I've owned both expensive and inexpensive cables and cannot say the differences have compelled me to continue to invest large coin into that aspect of my system. Far more profound in effect as far as investment in non-hardware items would be investing in your room...IMO. That and software (music) yields far more rewards in my experience.

Amen:

Have had many upper level versions of Purist, MIT, Transparent, and Siltech: guess how much I've spent: sucked in by BS and marketing.

With my current system, I'm now using 24 gauge, solid core, dead annealed silver, cotton wrapped from Chris at VH. $300 from amp all the way to speaker.

Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

Geopolitis if you read my post better you will see that I didn't say cables are not important! :)

I've spent so much money on them (more than 20k), I have a good system that I tested them on and I hope people with less experience won't make the same mistake.

Of course sometimes its inevitable, "if you dont pay, you dont learn"! ;)

"Stick a fork in me, I'm done."

I'll use this quote from now on...:)

The case of diminishing returns...put a fork in my cable..no mas.
