Money Well spent

Bad idea on borrowing from the cable company. Don’t do it. You will get ripped off and end up buying a cable at full retail you never wanted. Nobody in their right mind needs to test cables.

Good Advise thank you  everyone

"Is we all have a shopping bag of left over cables WHY many because always hoping for that new improvement that some thing extra"

In my case YES. There literally a bag full of old cables up in my loft. I'd sell them but I see it as fraud. Maybe a charity shop could use them?



"My most $$ power cable a well know company VD i have retailed for 1,200. 00 back in 2017 Hi Fi award all that stuff you like a new Car of the year again ."


For sure, every year, every magazine features awards.
No adverts, no magazines.


"so who make s great cables & NO i Don't want Garden Hoses behind my audio rack that don't bend or are so heavy they have to tired up in order not pull down & fall out"


Me neither, I'm sick of unwieldy industrial wires behind my system. Nor do I want cables that threaten to snap expensive sockets each time they're plugged and unplugged.

 
"do i have to go on & on NO i don't think so i have NOT been BLOWN Away as of Yet just NOT satisfied."


Then how about ignoring the annual end of year magazine fuelled hype and sticking high purity decent gauge OFC cables?

Seems to work ok.
