I am sick of cables

I have owned cables like Nordost Valhalla, Purist Audio 20th anniversary, Acoustic Zen Silver Reference, Virtual Dynamics Revelation, Argento Serenity. I have also auditioned cables like stealth indra in my system.

All I can say is that I am sick of cables, don't want to talk about them, audition them, not even see them....lol

Right now I have found a great combination of less expensive cables than the above which are perfect with MY equipment.

I was wondering why studios that record the music we are listening are not using super expensive cables...

In my humble opinion IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE AFTER, the most expensive cables are not necessarily better...

I said it, now I feel better...

A few years back I used to react the same way with such comments. I though that the most expensive cables were the best.

I suppose that you gain experience through the years and only if you REALLY want to learn.

Im not saying cables are not important. They are.

But their price is ABSOLUTELY irrelevant when it comes to matching with your system.

Geopolitis if you read my post better you will see that I didn't say cables are not important! :)

I've spent so much money on them (more than 20k), I have a good system that I tested them on and I hope people with less experience won't make the same mistake.

Of course sometimes its inevitable, "if you dont pay, you dont learn"! ;)

Have a look at my system...:)

I realy enjoy the conversation.

But lets not take it to the other side of things. Of course a very good cable can be really really expensive. But that is not the case most of the time...;)

Guys if you read my words better you will see that I never said cheaper cables are better. I said the most expensive cable is not always the best.

Yes It is inexpensive when I have compared it with purist audio 20th century i/c, valhalla i/c, indra i/c but I chose the Argento. I actually owned these cables except the Indra.

Also I replaced the Virtual Dynamics Revelation speaker cables with a new DIY cable from Greece, because...it was better. (In my system always). Keep your eyes and ears open.

Michael
