Never Spend More On Cables Than Your Equipment Cost$$$$$$$$$$


Another interesting read and I agree!

Not a flat earther and cables can make a difference but sticking a $600.00 PC on a $699.00 DAC is a freaking waste of money. IMHO.

As one of my racing instructors Fast Freddy Spencer used to say "Gotta have the apple before you can polish it" .

Spend the money on front end then upgrade your cables.

Just me thinking out loud.

I actually think that it's best to select the best cables you can afford and then upgrade your components as you can afford them.  No reason not to start with Nordost cables across the board and Goodwill components (if necessary) as budget allows.

The power cord that connects to the DAC in my system costs more than the component. Actual price paid.

The power cord is Acrolink 8N-PC8100 ($4,000).

The DAC is Chord QBD76 (RRP 6,295 but I paid $3,800 for it, used).

Well that is silly but it's your money, your choice.

And what have you spent on your room acoustics?

Not even $400.00
