Cables more hype than value?

Whenever I get the urge to spend component-level money on cables, I go out and buy an actual component.

thinking of me I feel very touched indeed ..not as touched in the head as you.But touched indeed.

What u heard may and may not count unless this was all done using blind test method..knowing which cable I which just doesn't cut it...so what was it sighted or blind...

My intent was not to stir up shite.
I honestly can't hear a difference between Mega cable and a good old generic.
Where I did see a difference was between balanced and RCA

If you have a mega dollar system, by all means better cables can make a difference although I never heard a huge difference myself, there is a difference. That said,
butting the high dollar cable money into the equipment will get you a bigger bang for the buck.

Putting a system together that sounds good takes time and effort in your price range. Any system done right will get good sound. Your room also plays a part in it.

No hype, no sarcasm, just facts..
