How high end must your system be...

...for you to be able to notice the differences different cables will make. I've always said that I have ears of tin until a friend of mine came to my house and said that my system was just not high end enough to be able to hear the differences different cable will make. My system isn't the newest but it wasn't that cheap. My system is valued at several thousand dollars and I don't think I have anything in my system that you can find at just any audio store.

So, how high?

Gee, i just blew the cost of a nice new car on my new rig..
...and speaker cable: Hmmm $2.50 YES TWO DOLLARS and FIFTY cents. eBay MIL SPEC silver plated 12 guage Teflon insulation wire (From Grumman.. prolly for a F-22!)
Anyway i bought a LOT of this just to have around for those "wire moments" and decided to wire my Maggy 3.6 with it. @ $0.25 foot times 2.5ft stereo pair that's $2.50.. of course I can SPLURGE and biwire.. Whew!! That's five bucks.
And it sounds really super fine.
(On the other hand I bought a new Kimber 7 meter Hero for the pre to amp for $750.00)
Above all else.. you gotta use your ears... AND what's BETWEEN your ears.
