Cables more hype than value?

Audiolabyrinth...I know what you're saying, it's all good.

I know that the combination of pure metals and the right connectors do make a difference. It's a shame they get priced so high. I'll keep in mind the Taralabs for my preamp/amp interconnects. Which model did you opt for?
Thanx for that input, cheers :)

Only value is how cables work with your system....they all sound different....that's why you must audition each cable in your own system.

@ mental, It all depends on system synergy!, As stringreen said, you should audition the cables before you buy!, In my situation, I do not need too!, I have been with the Taralabs house sound since the incarnation of their company, I simply buy componets to match my cables, If the componet does not sound shockinly good on Taralabs cables, I get rid of that componet!, leaves a narrow window for mistakes, I do not believe in mixing brands, I call that chaseing the cables by the tail syndrome!, you will never find absolution! I would need to know the amp and pre-amp in question before a recomendation!, I bought the Taralabs zero gold i/c, the Taralabs omega gold speaker cables, now the Taralabs cobalt a/c power cord with the up-graded top tier oyaide plugs terminated at the Tara factory, then I have the Tara the one i/c and speaker cables for another system, and I own the Taralabs omega jumpers for bi-amping on the main system.,,,, cheers!

Stringreen...it's all about the purity of the cables and the capacitance. Some vendors have the combination of the conductor elements and connectors down pat.

I own Morpheus, King Cobra, and Blue Jeans...I can tell you there is no difference in the quality of sound.

Audiolabyrinth says the Taralabs are to die for, I can try those to see if what he says is true. It's the dinero they want for a simple interconnect that costs nothing to produce that bothers me.

I try to give every1 and everything the benefit of doubt.

If you wanted to make a rectangular solid core conductor to put in an audio cable, how would you go about doing that for nothing?
