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.

To spend US$10,000 for some interconnect cables will not guarantee a better sound than the less $$ (but still expensive) Wireworld Gold Eclipse. I think they cost US$800 in the used market. In the 1960's audiophiles didn't even know that using "audiophile grade" cables could "transform" the sound of their systems. Still these ancient systems (with the standard factory supplied zip cords) sounded very musical and sometimes did sound more musical than contemporary $$$ systems (for example Quad ESL 57). This is a fact and in some aspects it is quite sad that some audiophiles are still looking for the "audio nirvana", even when they are using US$10,000 cables.

Leica_man: if some manufacturer shows up with a $10,000 (or more) ultra high end SOTA space age etc. superconductor, there would always be someone who buys it (even if it would have a pricetag of $20,000). In short: there is no budget limit with regard to audio (if you have the cash), so Audionuts' question is in fact irrelevant.
