I am sick of cables

I have owned cables like Nordost Valhalla, Purist Audio 20th anniversary, Acoustic Zen Silver Reference, Virtual Dynamics Revelation, Argento Serenity. I have also auditioned cables like stealth indra in my system.

All I can say is that I am sick of cables, don't want to talk about them, audition them, not even see them....lol

Right now I have found a great combination of less expensive cables than the above which are perfect with MY equipment.

I was wondering why studios that record the music we are listening are not using super expensive cables...

In my humble opinion IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE AFTER, the most expensive cables are not necessarily better...

I said it, now I feel better...

Tube rolling is less stressful....but given the price increases for NOS....just wait.

Cable disappearance...is when the CD or a record no longer sounds as such...it's not live...but it's not reproduced either...but that can be said for all parts of the system.

Also one other reason i'm done with cables....it's funny how some manufacturers have their cables sonic quality measured by price....In fact nailed....so you think...there's not science involved....BS! I buy used or discounted heavily....I finally got wise.

A friend of mine, who is no audiophile, looked at this thread and hypothesized the following: interest in pseudo-problems, like getting an amplified current unmolested through ten feet of wire, is directly proportional to the impossibility of solving real problems--overpopulation, global warming, and getting a decent plate of food anywhere on the coast in the southern US. But no gd way that's true, no way!

And "getting a decent plate of food" is supposed to be on the same level of importance as the two previous? If the comment is in jest, fine. If not, it's pathetic, and myopic. :)
