@ Lianger,If they are Taralabs $5,000.00 cables,there is no comparision to a $30.00 cable,tast?,a little humor I suppose!,A $5,000.00 Tara cable is a better sounding cable than almost eanything out there at twice the price as this!

Do $5,000.00 cables taste better than $30.00 cables?

YES to some palates. A great example is wine.
Does a $5,000 watch tell time any better than a $30 watch?

Answer: Perhaps it will, more often than not, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that in other cases the reverse might be true, or the difference might be negligible.

I am somewhat reluctant to admit that I once owned a $5000 watch from a very well regarded manufacturer. It was an automatic watch, which is to say, its mainspring was wound automatically by the motion of the wearer's arm.

It kept time approximately as accurately as the clock on my dog's automatic feeder. Which is to say, it sucked.
