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.

It’s like I explained to my daughter, everything is a matter of choice. Like Dynaquest4, her sister’s boyfriend bought an expensive convertible sports car. I bought a normal car and an expensive stereo. Life’s choices are based on one’s priorities.

d2girls,

First of all, look at your system.  I don't know anything about Schiit products, but I do know about your Pass and Harbeth pieces.  They're very good!  I hope that you are running balanced interconnects, Pass works better with them.  Call John Pharo at The Cable Company and ask him about speaker cables.  He's very knowledgeable and really nice.  He can help guide you.

And theres the other half of me that says to just stick with what I've got...
Look at it this way, if you don't "save" $2,500 by spending $2,500 on $5,000 speaker cables, what would you spend the $2,500 on?  My guess, probably something cooler than wire.
