Upgrade path the same for cables ?

Just as better equipment is put into the system, the sound is suppose to improve ( if all things are equal ).

Does the same thing apply with cables ?

What changes in a interconnect that costs $100 to one that costs $1000 or more ?

Cables are very system dependant. Money makes no difference. You might find that the $100 cable in your system sounds better than the $1000 cable.

I've found as you spend more on cables, you definitely get more. Certainly not a linear relationship, but neither is it the case with components.

Like components, you get more detail, better sound staging, more air etc.

Of course system matching is very important, but done right spending more on cables can equal replacing a key component.

I can't guarantee if you spend 10x on speakers or amp you'll get an upgrade fighedabout cables LOL!

10x upgrade to house or condo certainly have much more linear relationship than audio!

I have replaced $1000 cables with $200 cables and gotten bettersound. As others have said very system dependent and also very subjective in what you are looking for in sound. I have found this to be true of all equipment
