If the cable in question works as it is designed to do, I consider that job done and move on to the next problem. That said I have owned decent nice cables with gold anodized connectors with robust construction which would ensure they would last a very long time. As far as being able to detect any difference in sound, I never did. But the better cables last longer because their construction is more robust. Beyond a certain point, there is nothing to be gained by spending more. there are other things to spend the money on that will actually make a difference. room treatments, equipment to measure and eliminate room anomalies, and so on. I refuse to get my panties in a twist over cables.
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...
