Cheers!!!,,, Cables RuLE!,,, The Taralabs zero gold,omega gold is the most beutiful sounding cable I have ever heard, bar none!, this cable does it all!

Does it clean the house and cook dinner? Chauffeur you around town? Give you good financial advice? If it does all of that, I may have to seriously consider an investment into this Tara Labs Zero Gold, Omega Gold cable that you speak of. ;)
@ jmcgrogan2,, Thats funny you said that, at the cost of these cables, that I do not agree with, I believe they should do all that you said,LOL!,,,very good since of humor!,, you got a chuckle out of me!,,, thanks john,, Happy listening!
@ Bo1972, Thanks Bo, That meant alot coming from you with all you vast experience with cables!,, cheers!
Talk to many designers of gear and they all will tell you don't spend a lot on cables. Nuff said.

Does that mean you should not if you choose to and you enjoy the sound a certain cable will produce, no, this is a hobby and if you want to hear how the real recording sounded in the studio, well you better have the master tape on hand. LP or Digital cannot touch it.

What we are doing in a home system is building a system that sounds good to our ears and perception of good sound.

I like playing with cables for that reason. I can change the sound somewhat of my system without having to buy new gear. Inductance and impedance, and your gear all work together to give the final sound or interaction of a given cable to the one piece of equipment it is attached to. That is the big unknown and the fun of trying new cable.
