Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?

HA... So many great replies... too many to single out.

I will tell interested people where I shop. They can figure it out.

Only my insurance company.

I can purchase a couple of nice sounding cables for under $100. Room, speaker placement, component matching all matter more. Most situations do not involve throwing $10,000 in cables to get a noticeable improvement in sound. If you spend $10,000 on cables you have more $$$$ than you know what to do with. I heard a pair of $50,000  speakers, on $30,000 of Amp, preamp, and it did not sound good. He had large speaker cables about 1/2" diameter, huge interconnects.

1. The room was crummy. A bose wave radio would have put it to shame.

Very true. I have seen $20K+ speakers a foot from a wall in a maybe 10'X15' room with all expensive tube electronics and it sounded like all bass, overwhelming all the instruments. Fed by over a $20K multi-arm turntable. What a waste of $$. Who knows how much the cables cost, but I am sure they aren't cheap. They looked very thin, so maybe silver? Who knows.

I guess if you have a mid 6 figure system, $10K cables are par for the course, and you can hear a difference.
