Can I start some trouble?


Is it possible that on expensive cables, power cords, power conditioners etc. that the manufactures do something to make the sound different, not necessarily better, but just something to color the sound so we all feel justified in spending a small fortune?

How do you define different, not better? It is a matter of taste after all.


The Toyota Avalon and one of the Lexus 300 series are basically the same car. The Lexus justs cost more and folks feel better owning one, and being able to say they can afford one.

Compared to less costly cables? In most legitimate situations, no. Quality comes at a premium. There are certainly instances, however, where a more costly cable is less probable of being 'better' (as in better i am refering to 'more of nothing'.) in a given system.
For the most part you get what you pay for...The market takes care of those that are ripoffs in short order.....It is nonsense to think that component/cable voicing is a conspiracy.....We all do the best we can and some do it better than others.....Find a designer whose gear you like and buy into a systems approach as they all have their favorite wires and associated gear that will magnify the parameters they feel are important to the experience....
