Room treatment will be a much better place to spend money also. There's a reason on some forums the dbt between wires isn't allowed to be discussed. The differences are so subtle with wire that speakers and room acoustics offer a far better return on your investment. Of course it's to each his own. I'll save my money as I've had several IC's loaned to me and can't hear enough of a difference to bother, maybe no difference. These IC's were from 50 bucks a pair to 300 a pair, no difference that I can hear. Same with speaker cables. My system is extremely resolving btw.
Are expensive cables worth it?
The cost for interconnects ect. are way out of hand! I understand $200-400 cables, but do $2000-4000 cables sound 10x better? I know we are all dropping big coin for that final 10% of music not heard on 'mid-fi' systems, but are the cables the place to find it? I'd rather save the $ and upgrade my speakers or amps first, am I crazy or what?
