why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable

I have tried expensive cables and one's moderately priced. I would say there were some differences but I can't actually say the expensive cables were better. IMHO I believe a lot of people buy expensive cables because they don't actual trust their ears and are afraid of making a mistake. They figure the expensive cables are better for the fact they cost more. If you have a difference of opinion or share the same thoughts, I would like to hear about it.

I have no doubt whatsoever with your findings, it's just the tone.

I actually wish I could afford to try the expensive cables out there."

If you live in the US, give The Cable Company a call. They'll send you a box full of whatever cables you want to demo.

It's not for money's sake that I settled on the cables I have. I tried just about every type of cable, cheap and more expensive than what I currently use....including Mogami. My decisions were based on performance only, given I have the ability to spend more than some, but as a rule, I do not overspend for jewelry factors. It is understood however that priorities can vary in individual systems.

Zd452,

They will send you all the cables you want if you are willing to pay the 5 percent of the retail price of the cable plus shipping. They don't provide this service for free.

"They will send you all the cables you want if you are willing to pay the 5 percent of the retail price of the cable plus shipping. They don't provide this service for free."

That's not quite correct. The Cable Co. requires a 5 percent deposit, but its website says it "will be applied in full against purchases (cable or non-cable products) from The Cable Company, Usedcable.com, or our Ultra Systems affiliate."
