"EAR VS Cables"


guys,
first of all.i want to thanks all the fellows audiogon on here helping me finish my system..i am pretty much completed everything but cables.after 3 months reasearching about cables on here,and i am still confuse of which cable to buy..i ve tried(borrow) home depot cable Vs $1000 cable,to be honest,i can not tell the difference whatsoever.I am an electrical engineer for 11 years ,and to me there is no theory that support the differences on cables.anyways,is it because i am not at the level that my ear can tell the difference? Am i going to get there one day? the question is..should i spend the money now on cable or stick with the cheap affordable cable?my ears can tell the difference between tube and SS,but fail on cables..when i say cables.i mean inter-connct,power cord, and speakers wire. ..please help.

YOU are going to listen to music with your system. That's what matters. If you don't hear differences, why spend big bucks on cables? I do hear some differences with cables but I think that there are many of them that are way overpriced. The best thing is to try them in your system and compare.
The most important thing with cables is how well they match with your components and only you can be the judge of that. The problem is that there are so many of them on the market and it is very difficult to compare many of them to each other.
E-mail me if you want to hear more about this.
