How much money for your next interconnect cable???

I believe there were time people just looked at you and shout " you are crazy" when they heard how much money you have to paid for your interconnect cables. Even more so if they found out how much money we reselled them on audiogon after a short period of time (same thing happen to our audio component). And it will freak them out if they know again how much money for your next purchases. I know we just laugh and ignored their disbelieve. Anyways, do you plant to buy your new interconnect cables? If so, what is your budget and how do you gain your wife or significant patner acceptance!??!?!!!

Please include brands, models and why do you think this/these cable/s will improve your system.

My system include: Krell KRC-3, Krell kav-1500, krell FPB-200, CJ DR-1, CJ premier-11, Bench Mark DAC-1, Classe SSP-60, Sony DVD 9000ES, VPI scout Sig, Theil 3.6, Triangle Tratos Luna, Definitive Tech Ref, PS power plant-600, Shunyata Hydra 4, Monster HTS-5000s, Kimber Hero cables, Nordost Heimdall, Nordost Blue haven, Tranparent Ultra XL cables, Mit Shotgun cables, PS audio-Extream power cords.

Pbb, that is a good idea but I don't think that is enough for all the craziness in this hobby, right?

John, I agree with you, interconnect are vary so much from system to system. It is hard to say "y cable" is better than "x cable". we all have a bad habit and we don't like to stay put without upgrade or doing a little change in our system. And everytime we do so, cables and interconnect are very importance if thing were not going the right way, right? That is why we always on the quest for that "good links". I aslo totally agree with you that power cord would improve any system. I have tried a lot of different power cord and was kind of happy with PS audio extream power cord. Shunyata power cord are good, too.

Edo_musica, It is a great system you have. You could find some good basic cables and interconnects for $75-$100 but trust me, cable are vey importance. I know a lot of people would not go 100% for there cable but it is not a good idea. If you have more budget go for it.

First, ask yourself, Are you a believer? If not, then there is no need to start a conversation here. Second, it is hard to distinguishing between low and high-end cables in which a blind test was conducting in a short time period. You have to live with it for quite a while before you can say it is sound worst or better to you. To say there are no different between $20 and $1000 is untrue. As same as audio equipments, too. It may not be significantly different at first but give a $1000 cable sometimes. After a long period of getting use to its sound then you don't want to go back to those $20 low-ender again. It happents to me, my friends and a lot of people out there. that is how we are end up in this forum. Finally, I just want to clatify that it is not nessesary to be expensive to sound good. There are a good number of affordable cables on the market now. But the point is are you satisfy with what you have now?
