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...

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

I believe recording studios use cables that are far cheaper in comparison to what you have right now.

Guys if you read my words better you will see that I never said cheaper cables are better. I said the most expensive cable is not always the best.

Yes It is inexpensive when I have compared it with purist audio 20th century i/c, valhalla i/c, indra i/c but I chose the Argento. I actually owned these cables except the Indra.

Also I replaced the Virtual Dynamics Revelation speaker cables with a new DIY cable from Greece, because...it was better. (In my system always). Keep your eyes and ears open.

Personally, what threw me off, is that you mentioned AZ Silver Ref MkII as one of the expensive cables.

You current interconnects retail for several times more than the AZs do.

And isn't DIY means Do It Yourself? How can a set of cables that you bought be called DIY?

Someone who praises a several thousand dollar interconnect says he's sick of cables?

I am keeping my eyes and ears open...which proved to be a total waste of time when it comes to listening to what you got to say.
