Cables more hype than value?

Consider this..ever wonder where your local Broadcast companie's, TV Station's and Recording Studio's buy their cable's ? In the Seattle area where I live all the commercial companie's buy their I.C.'s and speaker cable's from Radar Inc. just north of Seattle. Call your local Radio and T.V. station's and Recording Studio's and talk to the sound engineer's and they will give you contact info of the local companie's they buy from. These supply house's have very good quality cable's at real world price's that are far lower priced than your local high end audio retail or online store's.

@ audiozen,,Thats some very good info you have here!, However, The t.v.stations,recording studios,local radio stations cannot afford real cables!, The cables you are reffering to are junk!, I do know some world class recording studios and music venues like carnege hall, that use top tier Taralabs cables thru -out!, cheers!

Really?..Very high priced interconnect's and speaker cable's did not exist back in the 50's and 60's. Yet some of the greatest recording's from that time from RCA, Columbia/CBS, Capitol, Atlantic are very much sought after today. Back then they were using "junk cable's" you refer to in the studio's.

Bare in mind also that many of the top very expensive Cable companie's will give away their cable's to famous studio's, concert hall's, and Artist's so they can put in their company resume's that these famous sources use their product's.
