Do you really need ultra expensive cables?

I was always told that you need to spend about 30-40% overall budget on cables to have good sounds. To some equiqment manufractures, that is not the case.

For those of you who visited McIntosh at HE 2003. What do you think about their Stereo set-up? Do you reallized that they spend less than 3% on cables? Not that they can't afford them. But their arguement was that if your equiqments are so nice, and so musical, why do you have to depends on cables to improve sounds. What do you think of that?

Thanks!

Jacks@aol.com: There are some that will dispute anything that i say. As such, i don't worry about such trivial things. People can either agree with me or be wrong. It's their option : ) Sean

PS... I "had" to use that one. I saw a t-shirt that said "There are two kinds of people on this Earth. Those that agree with me and those that are wrong" : )

People with cancer should be discouraged from seeking out quack cures, because this may delay or prevent effective treatment by conventional medicine. Likewise, audiophiles should be discouraged from spending their money on "magic" wires, because this may prevent them from purchasing better loudspeakers.

Do you mean no? Cables matter to those who hear the difference.

Sean, that one reminds me of my dad's favorite expression: "If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you."
