Cables more hype than value?

They do sound different - period. More money spent does not always equat to improved sound. One just has to listen to several/many and pic what they like the best. This is very personal and subjective.

I have learned that spending more money won't nesseccarily get you better sound in your system and to your ears.

For me simple, well constructed solid core copper cables sound best. No special pureness or anything. Just plain old Teflon coated, solid core copper in various gauges all bundled into a very thick and stiff cable.

To my ears and likes, they sound better then all high dollar silver cables I have tried. Again...for me. Another may need to spend big money for those pure silver cables as they sound best to them. It's all good and listen on!

Some things seem so obvious and based on truth. It seems impossible not to all agree on them.
- cables are system dependent in terms of sounding better
- cables are human ear sets dependent in terms of hearing a difference
- cables do sound different and better in some/many systems and to some/many ears
- humans did not evolve from nothing or dirt

Oh we'll, let's continue to debate this based on our individual set of experiences which of coarse sets the lens or filter from which many here debate. Please understand however that your experience is but one conclusion or experience in the greater realm of truth mentioned above.
