Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference


Im fairly new to the hifi world and just recently purchased a couple of high end peices.my question is this:ive been reading alot about cables and speaker wire,do the expensive ones really make that big of a difference???Is it really worth spending a small fortune on cables?? And is Monster Cable really overrated like ive been reading? Any help would be useful,thank you.

I do not think that all expensive cables/cords make a difference. However, I can attest to Transparent Opus line = very sublime listening!
"Instead of asking me for proof, ask for proof from the cable companies who use ridiculous claims and flowery language to sell their wares. Where is their proof? Nonexistent, because when the difference between cheap "zipchord" and expensive wire is actually measured. That difference is inaudible to the human ear."

Perhaps Almarg was right when he discussed the interaction between the varying impedences of a given component in combination with the design materials/conductors of a particular cable.

Anyway, I'll stick with Neotech.
