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...

"First off, how is it some kind of revelation that price does not necessarily correspond to performance; the shocking part is that someone just now figured it out."

MIT Dave_b example says otherwise - unless you think that Oracle v1.2 Proline retailed at $6500 is inexpensive? In that case I'm perhaps living on the wrong side of the tracks.

I'm quite sure my statement does not say that price never corresponds with performance.

I'm confused at Bar81's statement...the revelation is not that the cable cost alot and that I think it's great, even though both are true. I have owned MIT Oracle stuff up to V2.2 level and Transparent Reference XL. The revelation is in just how much better the V1.2 IC is compared to any other high priced IC's I've owned or demo'd, irregardless of price. In the end however, we are on the same page...I think?

I think bar81 was commenting on the original poster's statement that price does not automatically correlate with quality.

Mmike - I finally got it (I'm slow). I think we agreed there is some correlation.
