Basic 12g copper speaker cables to $$$ cables.


How much do you have to spend to hear a difference? In other words, is an $80 upgrade worth bothering with? $200? $800? Etc. Let's say we're talking about an 8K system, with speakers as the best component.

OP it has NEVER been about dollar amount. It is about the construct used and how they were put together. There is NO SUPER duper change because of price.. There is however a correlation between a good business model that gives you more each time you pay more.

Me I jump to the position I like in sound, and have for quite some time. Speaker and gear type, really don’t change for me.. Just like the rooms I use.. The cables I build would be tough to better for what they do.. I don’t care who makes the cables... I have had some serious cables over here for 2 to three weeks at a time to be fair off and on for 4-5 years now.. It is tough to beat some of the weaves, and helical builds, with just a little effort and a few good parts.. YES some are pretty spendy. ALL under 500.00 usd, No matter what I do.. Pure silver $$$$

I’ve built cables for 45 years for HEAVY equipment.. this stuff is pretty easy to figure out.. It’s A Cable for God sakes.. Not made by cable gods.. just stiffs like me... with good parts.. I’m a happy fellow..

If was gonna spend money on cables, I use the business model I posted. The more you pay the more you get...That is what most of us want anyway.. RIGHT?

Regards..
