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.

Dazzdax,
I don't know about spending $10,000 on a single pair of interconnects but I do know a thing or two about vintage gear. In my component library I have a pair of Western Electrics 9 watt amps and a pair of Voice of the Theater horns acquired from my local theater when they "upgraded." I've also heard numerous systems based on vintage electronics, horns, and turntables. I agree those old systems were very musical but they did not then, nor do they now, possess anywhere near the resolution, nuance, or holographic sound staging of a modern system with carefully selected cables. Case in point when you upgrade old patch cords and 16-gauge lamp wire found in a vintage stereo, you upgrade overall performance, musicality, and enjoyment for that system.

Think about a vintage Ferrari or Austin Martin. Sure those were great cars, perhaps more inspired then many of today’s super cars, and driving such a car is a passionate experience. However, would you dare suggest these cars could not benefit from modern high performance radial tires? Sure modern high performance radials are more expensive compared to 1960’s bias ply’s, but is that the point? Would modern tires not improve the lap times and overall handling of a vintage sports car and are these gains in performance worth the added expense? To me the analogy of vintage sports cars and their horrid bias ply tires vs. modern high performance radials fits this debate like a glove.
