Cables / Wire are the '3rd rail' of hi-fi.
Several different camps all with their own drum to beat.
The RCI camp. Fundamental good measures are the key to good cabling.
Exotic design camp. Everything from multi-strand magnet wire to #12 solid for speakers or Silver / gold or even single crystal copper. DIY has a field day with this one.
Tone Control camp. Some cables / wires with 'known' problems have a following. High capacitance anyone?
Since I'm not rich enough to go with the cable of the week, I'm necessarily in the 'fundamental' camp. I chose well made cable from a known manufacturer and terminated some myself. interconnects are all factory terminated. I probably have 'only' 250$, tops, in cable.
