why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable


I have tried expensive cables and one's moderately priced. I would say there were some differences but I can't actually say the expensive cables were better. IMHO I believe a lot of people buy expensive cables because they don't actual trust their ears and are afraid of making a mistake. They figure the expensive cables are better for the fact they cost more. If you have a difference of opinion or share the same thoughts, I would like to hear about it.

Skylinedo. I can appreciate your first post, but I have to tell you this. I could never spend $10k on a power cable. Even if I had the cash, I could not do it.

dynaquest4"Build it and they will believe...cost seems never to be an issue for those with more bucks than smarts."
Once again here we see from dynaquest his seething irrepressable intolerance of those who make financial choices regarding their Music Reproduction Systems that do not comply with his rigid unflexible clearly defined and stated equation of "value." Rather than simply accept without complaint that there are those of some apparent significant financial means that can make purchases that he chooses to either not afford or that he simply cannot afford he must post here remarks meant only to demean, disrespect and embarass one can only wonder what his unending motivation for such hate is driven by probably some deep inner frustration which is regrettable for all but especially for him there is little doubt he will return with another insulting retort to my simple observation of his behavior but in truth such remarks from him have little "value" even if I apply his defintion of value to his response!  Here is his definition I wonder how he would apply it to these most recent hateful remarks of his:"the definition of value: "quality divided by price = value."

dynaquest:"Hateful remarks? Really, if I hurt your feelings, I’m sorry" 
You have not hurt my feelings you are a winkly-dinkler.You do spew hate and ignorance as is obvious from the demonstrated fact that the knowledgeable and experienced moderators on the site here have repeatedly deleted your comments so you're effort to now portray yourself as some friendly and reasonable contributor are pretty silly!

"See your reply above...I think thou doth protest too much."
What you think really doesn't matter to me if you think I "doth protest too much" you might want to carefully examine you're own "contributions" to this topic and silly rigid rules that you alone feel appropriate to bind to all.
