Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck


I recently chronicled in a review here, my experience with a very expensive interconnect. The cables cost nearly $7000 and are well beyond my reach. The issue is, the Pursit Dominus sound fantastic. Nothing in my stereo has ever sounded so good. I have been wondering during and since the review how much I would have to spend to get the same level of improvement. I'm sure I could double the value of my amp or switch to monoblocks of my own amps and not obtain this level of improvement.
So, in your opinion what is the better value, assuming the relative value of your componants being about equal? Is it cheaper to buy, great cables or great electronics? Then, which would provide the biggest improvement?

Audioengr, you have made your position perfectly clear and now I understand why our discussion has rambled along for so long on the "Romex behind wall" postings.

It's a shame Nrchy has a better grasp of high end reproduction than an engineer producing product for the audio business.

Again, I wish you well in your quest to sell cable, but will likely reduce or eliminate any further responses to your posts.
So Ernie, how are those Subaru's and the herniated disc doing? ( Damn rabbits ).

I can't decide if your comments mean that you will or will not want to be included in our group "Cryo treated Hubbell" purchase.
