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...

I think ICs and speaker cables should match or not be the weak link in a particular system. If you're spending $30K on a audio system, I don't think 'cheaper' cables will bring out the true potential of the system. If you have a $5K system and spend $3K on ICs and speaker cables, that is plain silly and overkill for the system and will potentially make it sound worse.

Unfortunately, I've had the unlucky pleasure of hearing higher priced but good ICs and cables with my mid to upper mid-fi system and bought them for a good price. They do indeed sound better than the less expensive ICs and speaker cables that were in MY system.
