Yes,I totally agree with Albertporter, everything about the interconnectors and speakers wire...are marketing hype ! ... Want to prove it? those manufactures can never show the energy lost or any difference when I use "any" material that provides good conductivity (such as metal of course)...So why bother?... I don't try to offend people who spends zillionzzz for such Tara, MIT cable, well got to admit they look good, make an impressive show-off in your living room... Qualitywise? NONE !!!!!! If you go out to buy from Walmart to Radioshak or any ordinary local stereo store, show me please that your reception or output is worse than those stupid expensive cables? Sometimes I have to laugh so hard when find out that out there somewhere, there are still people got fooled by some "people" who considered themselves audiophile this and that...because of the cable !!!! DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I RATHER SPEND Money for the good equipment, that I have no problem spending on, but interconnection / speaker cables?... I don't let myself fooled by those manufactures and look around back in the 70's or 80's, without those, peope still appreciate the good musics and never heard of any complaint about.... Someone dares to argue this with me, shows me the good calculation about conductivity loss or mathematical prove of energy loss based on "different" cable... Just the look and big money for someone who has nothing to worry about that makes the difference here...
Just my 2 cents...
