Amazing posts, and not in a good way. Who decides or who comes up with a the magic formula of value/percentage of cable costs to determine if somebody overspent?
It’s crazy for MC to spend $10k on cables for the caliber of his system, but it’s not crazy to spend $30k on cables for somebody that has a hifi system with quality products worth say $200k. It’s absurd for anyone to say if you spend more than $3 a foot, you are a fool. To these people, either get a set of new ears or a quality system that allows you to hear better components.
The comment on overspending on cables, can’t you say the same thing about over spending on an amp? Speakers? Dac? Cartridge? If somebody has a $2000 system, it would be crazy to spend $10k on a dac, but it would also be crazy to spend $1k on a dac in a $200k system.
let your ears be the judge not some fictitious value/formula
