Cables more hype than value?

"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

I recently took a peek at the VH Audio internet site and liked what I saw!, Brownsfan really got my interest stirred!, man, what a great company, you can litterally make your own cables buying the material from them!,they also carried multiple name brand tweeks, etc...,, and to top it off, for all of you people that make over $40,000.00 a year and can not bring your selfs to spending money on cables that are over a $1,000.00 a meter I/Cs, this VH Audio sine a/c power cable to me is the best $800.00 retail 6 ft power cord in the market place! Congrats to Brownsfan for a great choice he made!,, cheers!

Audiolabyrinth, the Airsines are though to beat at the price. I only have one component in my system that prefers another power cord over the AirSines. VH Audio can offer a generous trial period for a reason. I'm guessing Chris doesn't get many returns. Huge bang for the buck with these power cords!
