why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

Some people have money to buy the best.

And everyone hates us for it, don't they? I say, there's plenty of money out there and if you don't have any its your own fault. Stop crying like a bunch of babies.

Also you need to be naive enough to spend substantially more than actually needed. Scenic statement "This is how much $$$$$ I can spend on wires" is completely foolish.

Why would anyone HATE naive and foolish seriously? They give away money for nothing or for someone who sells. I believe that any business owner or seller must LOVE and respect them indeed! They give a great opportunity to invest $20...30 in parts and sell that wire for thousand$ if not more... There are moms who buy diapers $125 each and I don't see why anyone have to hate them too.

Czarivey, I wouldn't say all high end cables are way over-priced, though yes there are many companies which make huge profits. I'll avoid naming names as that has ended up in more than one major dust up before. Suffice to say, Jorma Design imho is one of the better value high end cable manufacturers, especially when compared to Nordost and Captain Cobalt's favourite wire, Tara Labs. ps: Don't ever listen to Jorma Statement sc's...you might need a diaper because of how good they sound ;)

Thanks, I'd rather listen to $5m Strad of Joshua Bell
Wires should not sound by any possible means and if they do than something is wrong.

Julian Hirsch changed his name and faked his death, to escape Stereo Review. He pops up, on these audio websites often, with various aliases, and still can't hear any differences in ANYTHING! Just imagine, if everything actually sounded alike, how much those of us with good auditory acuity could save.

I disagree, although I understand your point. But once you get used to a certain level of income, its extremely hard to do with any less. Here's just one tragic example from my youth. There were a couple of years when my dad couldn't afford a pilot and had to fly himself. Sure, it was our own private jet. But do you have any idea how ashamed we all were to see our father fly his own plane?

As you can see, there's just a little more to all this than being naive. I'm scarred to this day just from that one incident. There's more, but I just don't have the stomach for it right now.
