Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Seems I am (again) being called a "troll." Really? I shed name-calling in junior high.  According to some here, if you disagree with the general audiogon consensus regarding exotic cables, you are a "troll."  Seems that if you go back to the OP's ... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
cleeds: Exactly!!  Just like there shouldn't be any such thing as $5,000 speaker cables.  BMW is, though, full of scams.  For instance, when we bought my wife a new one, they (in 2014) deleted the spare tire so they could sell you pretty expensive...

Sorta like putting $15,000 tires on a $40,000 BMW...and then saying how it rides now like a Ferrari....just to justify the purchase?

infirthemusic: As long as you knew which cables you were listening to, your ability to actually faithfully "judge" comparative performance is compromised.  But whichever ones you think sound better are the ones you should use. 
Who listens primarily to Redbook CD?
@ electrostacker:Exactly.  Fidelity ends when the original recording session ends.  Wrapping an analog recording from the 1970's in a 24 bit package does not make that recording have greater fidelity. And ripping a CD to 24 bit does not magicall...

Who listens primarily to Redbook CD?
I'd be perfectly happy to listen to just CD's...but there is a time issue.  I don't want to have to search for what I want to listen to, open the jewel box, pull out the disc, open the transport drawer, insert the disc, close the drawer and then g...

The goose says: "In my opinion your room acoustics will make a bigger difference than any speaker cable."Bingo!  Clarity in a sea of confusion!

Cables cannot "change" (for better) the audio program...merely fix external issues.  dragon_vibe says: 1.  "(the cables)....sounded magical but left me with fatigue."  I found it strange that cables that sound magical (a positive) can also tire yo...

csmgolf: I have thick skin and offensive comments, while substantially lightweight, are directed personally at me, do not contribute to the topic and merely distract others from the discussion at hand. This particular thread is about cables...not ...

Oops....forgot to add the SVS SB13 Ultra sub to my system list above.  Got it a year old for half price.  Wonderful sub - Monoprice balanced cable.

Yep...we clearly do are on opposite poles of this issue.  My opinions are not biased because I have researched the science and believe it...and I have no financial interest in these products.  My point is the cables cannot make, induce, accentuate...
