why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable


I have tried expensive cables and one's moderately priced. I would say there were some differences but I can't actually say the expensive cables were better. IMHO I believe a lot of people buy expensive cables because they don't actual trust their ears and are afraid of making a mistake. They figure the expensive cables are better for the fact they cost more. If you have a difference of opinion or share the same thoughts, I would like to hear about it.

Looks like Porsche is a value brand . If they would have charged ten times the price it would be better though 
Best to sweep this discussion under the rug . We don't want to hurt cable sales .
Anyone hear of a big name system audiophile that did a blind test with Monster cable and his $20k Transparent Audio Opus ? This was done on the AVS forum website . He picked his cables 3 times out of 7 tries . The other 4 he picked the Monster cable .
The old luxury car analogy again . Poll 100 random people on the street with the question why does a Rolls Royce cost more than a KIA . You will get a answer from everyone . Show them a picture of a $100 speaker cable and a picture of a $30,000 speaker cable and ask them why one costs more than the other . They will not have an answer . Tell them "your" reason why you think there is a price difference and they will look at you like you are crazy .
