Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?


After listening to many speaker cables, I am listening to basic 14 Gauge, high purity copper speaker wire and find myself shaking my head.  Does this basic speaker wire sound better than cables many times the price?  I am really starting to ponder that question.  I think I am hearing things on my records I never heard before and better balance of sound.  What are your thoughts?

Although you could make a case that difference may not be better, but if everything is based on personal preference then the human race would not have come this far.  We may not know which is better but you would know it when you hear it.

It's like looking at a woman and know that she is good looking, but there is no agree upon rule that can tell one over the other.

In that sense, I am with Plato on this one.
An German king with empty treasury ordered by 10 German
Alhemist to turn lead of which (+ coal) Germany was/is rich into
gold. After 10 years all of them were discharged,  They changed
their name in metallurgist  and become succseful in West and
East . Alas turning lead into gold never happened but well 
turning copper into gold. Nordost charge for their copper wire
more than the pure gold cost.
