A true believer

Well Say i had $100,000. to spend on a system.
I would spend the money all on components, leaving only perhaps a thousand for cables.
Yes, one percent.
Now from the folks who are cables are vital. I can see them spending $60,000. on equipment, and $40,000. on cables.
Even $70,000 on equipment and $30,000. on cables.
Il take my $99,000. worth of stuff instead of the wires.

Elizabeth, it is precisely because of your distorted philosophy that you do not have $100k for stereo. Nor do you really need them since you wouldn't hear most of what that system would be capable of. But you are very stubborn and keep pushing this nonsense around here. I think you may be a little tired of that.
Cables, isolation and power devices can easily run 20%-30% the entire cost. A lot depends on prices you get when buying used or even new, complexity of the system, lengths of the cables required and ability and willingness to hear things.
So if you wish to use your MBL dream speakers with cheap Kimber wires it's certainly your choice. But your opinion on this matter has no real value whatsoever.

Perhaps I should have said, "If YOU can't HEAR the differences; SAVE YOUR MONEY!" I was responded to the OP's camment about wire's contribution to the sound of as system being so, "minimal."

"long ago, in a different age, when men who were truth seekers ruled the world of audio, it was said that the perfect Amp would be a straight piece of wire with gain. Think about the im[plications of that statement. What does it say about WIRE?"

I dunno, that wire has no gain? That truth seekers morphed into BS artists? I dunno, what does it say about wire?

Inna, such a gentleman. Resorting to bullying,shouting, personal attacks always shows the depth of one's argument.

If you're driving down the interstate and the speed limit is 70mph, but you're going 85mph, do you really have the right to call the guy who passes you at 95mph a maniac? There's an element of absurdity here as people with ridiculously expensive systems criticize other peoples' even more ridiculously expensive systems.
