Acrolink in-wall cabling?

Hello,
I am in the process of running two dedicated circuits for my equipment. I will be upgrading the receptacles possibly to Oyaide SWO Series. Is there sonically a difference with the Acrolink in-wall cabling vs. 10/2 Romex? The Acrolink is quite expensive at $30.48 per ln. foot x 72 total ln. feet needed = $2194.00. I may be wrong but I believe the amount would be better invested in equipment and to just purchase 10/2 Romex. Is there a higher grade of Romex, or is the jump to better cabling that dramatic? I don't want to get too crazy with all of this but I do understand that with purer copper the better the sound. Thanks...Joe

I appreciate and agree with several of the posts in this thread, particularly those by Hooper and Michaelhwolff. We're all after the best sound we can get to suit our tastes and budgets, and even when the budget is unlimited one has to ask himself whether the difference is perceived or imaginary. I don't fault someone for buying something simply because he can afford it, but the ethics of someone who praises what he is selling but doesn't reveal that fact are suspect.
