Cables more hype than value?

04-10-13: Mrtennis
can someone explain why there have been 300 + posts in response to a thread whose subject is cable ?

Good question, and probably needs an extensive investigation of the phenomenon. The topic of cables seems to greatly stimulate many Audiophiles’ senses to the point that this strong arousal cannot be controlled, and a lot of them have been known to lust for cables that are unobtainable. Even if they are obtainable, these reoccurring fantasies result in a poor relationship with their current system. Also, the compulsive desire leads to them becoming “cable junkies” and therapy may help, but relapse often occurs.

Name for the investigation will be, “Cables and Severe Psychosis Or Trauma”, to be commonly known as the “C-Spot” study.

If you want another good laugh, check out my post at the thread,
"Best drink while listening to your rig?"

No doubt the below links should be included in this thread, and probably some of the best answers.

Judging by the number of posts on this thread - we all have answers :-)

And wenn I read some of the answers, I think they are "more hype than value".
