Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound

@grisleybutter....$2000.00 speaker cable sounds no better than $20.00 cables?..well maybe if your playing in the Zu,Tekton arena but I suggest you listen a system that has the ability to prove how just absolutely idiotic your statement was.

Uh...before you go calling other people idiotic:

the quality of a cable is not dependent on the amount of money you spent on it.  It's dependent on the appropriate electrical qualities you need for the task.

Mogami cables, for instance, are very cheap compared to typical "audiophile" cables.  Mogami, and similar brands (e.g. Canare) are what most of the pros use.  Know why?   Because expensive audiophile cables aren't required for transmitting the signals they are recording and mastering.

Most of what you listen to was recorded with bog standard studio grade cables.

Every time an audiophile swoons over the amount of sonic information his expensive cables "reveal," he is hearing the level of sonic information those standard, cheap studio cables were just as capable of carrying.

I think a lot of people who are non-believers in speaker wire are those either have difficulty writing the check or are jealous about those who can.  As a result they put down others who can.

That is, sorry to say, a facile and self serving bit of cheap pop psychology.  And therefore not surprisingly: wrong.

It's like saying "Those people who don't believe in horoscopes must simply be jealous of those who can pay for having their horoscopes read professionally."

No.  They just think it doesn't do what it claims and hence it would be a waste of their money.

I mean, I could reply with:  "I think people spending money on expensive audiophile cables are just doing so as a status symbol among other audiophiles.  It's just an ego thing."

Does that sound right to you?  Or is it just cheap pop psychology from someone not even trying to understand why you believe what you believe?
