I am sick of cables

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

Congrats! You have finally achieved enlightenment.

Be careful when putting a fork in your cables. You might short them out ;-)

When Acura NSX first came out, the whole world went wild and I went crazy not to mention many sleepless days and many posters on the walls. Many years later, I test drove one, and I was like, man, how disappoint! I went many sleepless nights and this is all it got? what the fuss was it all about? Ah! maybe because it was Japanese. For exotic cars, I should aim for Italian; who else could out-do the Italian?? My house was then stacked up with car magazines every where. And until many years later, someone was friendly enough to "offer" me a test drive his $180K Ferrari. (I swear he offered it, lol) Wow! this is it. This is every men's dream, right? Well, I went home disapointed with mixed feelings not because I was upset of myself can't afford one. I just tried to put myself in his shoes to see what he can benefits from spending $180K to this "magnifician" car. One biggest brand name and the most talk-about. Time has gone by and my house now is all stacking up with Hi-end Audio magazines and I read/ dream alot about high-end cables and speakers too.....

All cables have diff unique character of each and I agree that, but I think any one of them costs above $500 to $1K is too much. They obviously spent too much on R&D, and/or markupting. Opps, mispelled; it's marketing.

Bottom line, if you can afford them and it helps your psyche then buy the expensive cables. If you can't afford them and think your system is maxed out then stick with Home Depot copper wire. Cars are the same. You can spend $80K on a mercedes or 20K on a Honda. Guess which one has better reliability? Quess which one I feel better driving?
