Cables more hype than value?

Only value is how cables work with your system....they all sound different....that's why you must audition each cable in your own system.

@ mental, It all depends on system synergy!, As stringreen said, you should audition the cables before you buy!, In my situation, I do not need too!, I have been with the Taralabs house sound since the incarnation of their company, I simply buy componets to match my cables, If the componet does not sound shockinly good on Taralabs cables, I get rid of that componet!, leaves a narrow window for mistakes, I do not believe in mixing brands, I call that chaseing the cables by the tail syndrome!, you will never find absolution! I would need to know the amp and pre-amp in question before a recomendation!, I bought the Taralabs zero gold i/c, the Taralabs omega gold speaker cables, now the Taralabs cobalt a/c power cord with the up-graded top tier oyaide plugs terminated at the Tara factory, then I have the Tara the one i/c and speaker cables for another system, and I own the Taralabs omega jumpers for bi-amping on the main system.,,,, cheers!

"Audiolabyrinth says the Taralabs are to die for, I can try those to see if what he says is true. It's the dinero they want for a simple interconnect that costs nothing to produce that bothers me."

If you wanted to make a rectangular solid core conductor to put in an audio cable, how would you go about doing that for nothing?
