Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money

I have made cables, bought cables, all sorts. The better brand (higher priced than home made) cables are definitely superior to any home made cables. Where the low cost manufacturers cables are about on the same level. So I am saying "You get what you pay for" across the board in cables for audio equipment. The slope is non-linear. So that $1000 cable pair is only a little better than that $400 cable pair... And a $10,000 pair is only a little better than the $1000 pair. But knowing audiophiles, those small differences add up to big hearing claims. There are trade offs, and different brands seem to have slightly different flavors.So making your own cables can save a little money. but those cables are NOT ’giant killers’. And everyone knows that. *some schmuck would just be making those and everyone would buy them since even the Golden Eared could hear how great they are? NOT. HAPPENING.

Aolmrd, Wikiquotes lists that Einstein quote as DISPUTED since it only has one unsourced reference. Look to the bottom of the wikiquote page on Einstein in the yellow disputed section. 

Bingo! It’s obviously not (rpt not) something Einstein would ever say, as I said before. Richard Feynman, on the other hand, is quoted as saying something pretty close,

”If I could explain it to the average person they wouldn’t have given me the Nobel prize.”

I find this quote from John C. Lilly to be useful:
"" In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true is true or becomes true, (*For you) within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. ""The *(for you) I found included in other versions of this quote.And it applies. What you believe in, you look for things to confirm it is true. So if you believe in it, you find it to be true through reinforcement in things you experience.Remembering this statement has made me a much better skeptic. LOL

To simplify things even more, perhaps, this quote from Dr. Elizabeth Shaw in the movie Prometheus pretty much says it all, doncha think?

”Because it’s what I choose to believe.”
