Percentage of cable cost

I feel cables can make a significant difference, and yes, this has included double blind tests in my system. Current cabling cost varies from 10% - 15%. I do find that used cables hold their value extremely well, so ultimately have spent very little on cables.

I spend or spent 10% of the cost of a component. $2,000.00 = $200.00 for cables.

In looking into this I've found that some people even break down the components into a percentage, i.e. 60% for speakers, 30% for sources, ect. ect.

I bought the "best" turntable at the time I could afford, SOTA STAR Sapphire  $2000.00 and pretty much stuck with that as a general rule of thumb. Cartridge, pre- amp, phono amp, headphones, Headphone amp, amps. speakers. DAC.  After making my mind up for the final choices based on my preferences for sound. I'm happy with the final choices.

About 10%, maybe less- 

.12% should suffice on a 20k system

.05% on a 10k system

1% on a 5k system
