Sum Total Cost Of All Cables In Your Rig?


What is the total cost of all cables in your rig, as it stands today? (All interconnects, power cables, speaker cables, digital cables, etc)

Just a curious question....

Parkergetdean 7k yes for my 2 systems, all bought used . Regular price maybe 12k.

As the saying goes, “If I told you, then I’d have to kill you.” More correctly if I thought about it, it might kill me. Truthfully Scarlet, I don’t care. That may be cavalier to some but in pursuit of the musical high, why not?

Maybe $100 just to estimate high. Been putting together systems since i was a kid, which was a long time ago.  So there’s a lot of reuse over the years. Leftover 10 gauge copper house wire for my speakers. 

Hello, 

hard to quantify what should be spent in either or other parts of a system. As some would say, it is rather the musicality reached altogether so if you have a weak point, you only hear its limits. I have spent no more than 700$ (audio project, kimber cables) in my cables but some are DIY or second hand. I would say around 20% and be sure not to have too long cables. 

As I have different RCAs, it is fascinating to hear that it is a different sound if you exchange their place in the system… have you experienced this type of difference too?
