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.

People buy expensive cables because they can afford it. What they do with their money is none of mine or your business.
I'll never understand why some people can put every person and system into one group just because they are unable to hear a difference. If you're unable to hear a difference, so be it. But don't put us all in your group. The OP has an opinion which is fine, probably true to a point, but I think not so many as he thinks.

I guess the bottom line is one can’t classify all into one category.

It's all about what you can actually hear yourself. Don't assume others can't because you can't. Some say they hear the difference between the two sides of the Linn felt mat. I don't, but I don't presume they're deluding themselves just because I don't hear it.

Because in some cases, they sound superior.

In my system, I use a combination of PCs. 2 that were custom made at $175 each and the rest Nordost Valhalla, High Fidelity and Shunyata Sigma.

I build my AUDIO system base on SOUND QUALITY and NOT status, measurements ... I use my EAR and buy what sounds the best!!!
