I got the top of the line Synergistic Research UEF speaker cable at half price and they were still a lot of money....but because I did so and purchased two REL subwoofer I am now very happy with the sound I am getting with my Harbeth 40.2 speakers and integrated pass lab 250.

I could have sold the speakers and tried some other speakers instead but who knows where I would be on the merry go round if I did so...

I could have bought a separate preamp and amp and stuck with a cheaper cable and maybe got to the same place but maybe not .....

the better speakers cables with the subwoofer make every record sound good to me...obviously some better than others....before.....I would be happy with one record and then with the next record be thinking maybe I should get a different speaker or amp.......

so my happiness and peace of mind is worth it......I would have found it much more taxing to sell the speakers or sell my equipment and audition something else......

my previous speaker cables were the lesser but still excellent atmosphere cables by SR and now they are happily being used in my bedroom set amp system.  So both systems sound better........


There are some people who dont really care about getting better sound but somehow have time to troll the internet to persuade audio hobbyists that we are either deaf or dumb to buy anything more than monster cable.

Perhaps these people dont really even enjoy music or stopped liking music after the glory years [fill in the era of choice]

Perhaps these people cannot afford to upgrade their system so feel a a need to lash out at the high costs often but not always associated with this hobby.

Most people here want the genuine opinion of other hobbyist who have an open mind and ears and are interested in the pursuit of better sound...

I certainly am happy with the state of sound I have in my various setups but am confident that I can learn more and improve things still.

I remember helpful advice regarding upgrading fuses and yet of course much backlash about how ridic this is by some people here....many people were stunned it makes a difference but the more stunning thing is people who have strong opinions in theory about things they never even try





No one has to try 10K cables perhaps 1K or $500 cables if using $100 cables....or even make your own but to insist like some here do that science has proven it’s pointless is bordering on flat earth society stuff
