I am sick of cables


I have owned cables like Nordost Valhalla, Purist Audio 20th anniversary, Acoustic Zen Silver Reference, Virtual Dynamics Revelation, Argento Serenity. I have also auditioned cables like stealth indra in my system.

All I can say is that I am sick of cables, don't want to talk about them, audition them, not even see them....lol

Right now I have found a great combination of less expensive cables than the above which are perfect with MY equipment.

I was wondering why studios that record the music we are listening are not using super expensive cables...

In my humble opinion IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE AFTER, the most expensive cables are not necessarily better...

I said it, now I feel better...

IMO it costs bucks to get good neutral transparent sounding cables made with quality materials and good construction. Neutral cables are not cheap, but the better a cable is, the more it gets out of the way by causing less distortion, kind of like the focus on a camera lense. If your equipment sounds bright, forward, lean, etc... you might prefer some of the cheaper-made cables as filters to cover up or offset some annoying sound characteristics. If you want to transfer a quality signal between your nice sounding equipment and speakers with minimal distortion then pony up and buy good used cables but stay within your budget. Many of the ultra-expensive cables get out of the way the best with the least amount of distortion, but who wants to spend 10 times more for a 10% improvement?

Have a look at my system...:)

I realy enjoy the conversation.

But lets not take it to the other side of things. Of course a very good cable can be really really expensive. But that is not the case most of the time...;)
your system page lists Argento Serenity. Are those the cables you consider inexpensive?
This is a pretty active thread.

Apparently a lot of people are really not all that sick of talking about cables.

Viva la Audiogon!

Seriously do you consider the cables/interconnects you're using inexpensive ??
Perhaps in comparison to the rest of your system you could draw that conclusion ..but that's a stretch imo
