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.

akg_ca: Well said and quoted!!!!!  If this thread and few others were tailed off, that would be a good things. Now, I shall commence to do my part :-) and stop responding (for now!)
Decades ago it use to make the plate in my head itch anytime I would read some magazine review pushing ever more expensive wire and cheerlead on by the writer and blessed by the editor  

.Today with $20,000 interconnects and $13,000 power cords I now realize I was in the wrong business,,
I think it is a good thing for all folks to be able to express their views.
Good, bad, or neutral. The one part which I hope folks will respect is other's have a right to disagree without being called names, insulted in any way, nor being restricted, except to be reasonably polite. Explain in polite terms why you think they are idiots.. LOL
So I enjoy reading the posts of folks who think cables are crazy. Even though i find wires can make a difference.
