why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
It's a process. I think you have to be patient. I also think you are the judge of what your system needs.  Find something that's good.  Find a match and live with it.  I think those who have more income are able to try the higher priced stuff.  I'... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Im letting it burn in.  It was brand new. I can tell you already that compared to the furman that I had it's better so far. The backgrounds are quieter and also it helped in the area of transparency. I'm listening since to the album "Hands" by Dav...

I just picked it up today.  I will be putting it in my system tomorrow. It actually heavier than it looks. It's a pretty nice chunky piece of equipment.  It actually has some good sturdy feet on it as well. I was looking to replace my furman power...

I have too used the essence of music treatment. It works extremely well. I just ordered the new power conditioner that High Fidelity just released. I'm hoping to get it by Thursday or Friday and get it in my system. It's 999.00 so I'm looking forw... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Spending crazy money on cables is not the answer.  There has to be balance. Better equipment has to usually be fed better cables. I went up the chain in high fidelity and they do get better going up the chain.  There no way I would spend more on c...

why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
So many components, combinations and cables. Find what works, what you like and enjoy it. Best advice is that if you can't stop listening that's a great sign. If your component or cable gets you there then great. It's funny how we value the opinio...

@jazzonthehudson I agree, your ears have to be the judge and I have actually heard or have owned the cables I speak of for extended sessions.  I can't speak on those I have not. I just know that I have came a long way from the Audioquest diamondba...

Constantly pushing the limits of sound. Constantly pushing the product to get better and better. I've watched Rick innovate and innovate again. I listened a lot of cables and the immediacy of the high fidelity stuff is just different. Trying to ma... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
I would like to add some cables bring me closer to the music. Some of the cheaper cables sound like you threw a blanket over the music. That is usually the case when I have compared. It just depends on the what you've heard I've heard some really ... 
Taralabs cables
Wow, sorry I asked. Goodness! I guess I shouldn't have wondered why 15 to 25k worth of cables would go on 7 or 8k worth of gear. I might be wrong about the numbers but I just wanted to see how your set up looks.  Sometimes that works.  I was just ... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
I used to be a I'm not spending on cables guy. I remember when I first went from Audioquest rocket 44 and I put in clarus Crimson. Big change. Then I went the high fidelity ct1 brand and it was even better. Expensive but I enjoyed them.  I still h... 
Jazz for aficionados
Just discovered this thread everyone. The Buena visita social club album blew my mind. I actually will attempt to visit Cuba next year. When I heard the album. The guys play their instruments with so much emotion that I was amazed. The instruments... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
@everyone. If somethings sounds great and it's cheaper it's a no brainer. Get what you can afford and enjoy it. Some cables perform way over their price points. It depends on your system. A cable will not always sound better if it costs more. Howe... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
@nonoise. Point taken. I guess we should by and enjoy what we want and can hear. We all have opinions and different hearing. Enjoy your system as well as the other points of view on the thread. Hard to read for me too.
