Cables more hype than value?

@ 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.

"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."

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?

Keep in mind that there are many paths to audio nirvana, and Audiolabyrinth's is but one path. It works for him, and that's great, but don't fall for anyone telling you there is only one way to reach musical heaven. I've read many different opinions about many different paths over the last decade or more on these forums, some have worked, many have not. Many are simple hobbyists, while some have hidden agendas. Buyer beware.

Trust your own ears, don't believe the hype.

This topic has quite a bit of info when it comes to cables. I thought I was doing it the right way by purchasing decent audio components first but I see my error, I should have been spending my money on cables and then matching my equipment to them.

lol...now ya know I'm not going to go that route. My system is a simple one and it works just fine for me. I will admit I have bought Morpheus, King Cobras, and have to tell you I hear no difference when compared to my trusty ole Blue Jeans.

Maybe someday I'll get around to auditioning a $1K plus set of interconnects but very doubtful I'll ever spend that kind of dinero.

I realize most of the comments are meant to be helpful and I do appreciate that. I'm just old skewl and a lil mental to boot...*laffs
