I must admit to general skepticism when it comes to cables, however I had to rethink this after a demo at a local audio salon with a popular and expensive power cord. The improvement in sound quality was apparent to all present. I have since reverted to my normal state of lazy agnosticism since I can't afford them....
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.
