Sum Total Cost Of All Cables In Your Rig?

Not necessarily.....after a certain point, there is no endless upward motion in fidelity, there are just differences in sound, i.e., sideways motion...especially with cables

Someone’s estimate could also represent different types of cables in different rigs, different synergy, optimized for different types of music and so on (not a single rig). This thread is meant to accommodate all such persons.

The total cost is not really indicative IMHO . What is more informative and pertinent is the percentage relative to the total cost of the system, I read a long time ago that a ratio of about 10-15% is recommended.It has been a useful guide for me.

Forgot to add in a second phono amp to preamp cable.

c. $490

... about $360. 

There was a time that I used to joke that pop's system (RIP) had more in cables than I did in my entire system. But now that his gear is mine, I can't quite say that anymore can I!? 

Spit balling, I'm going to guess ~$10K all in. 

Happy listening.

A couple expensive RCA cables where gifted to me by my rich audiophile friend.

Have 3 power cables, $160

Phono cable $200

6ft speaker cables $130

RCA for streamer & RCA from pre-power amp $ Free

For my HT system spent a ton more, but needed some 40ft Bi-Wire cables for Atmos. Of course setting up 13 speakers.

Yikes..All depends on How gullible, perhaps lazy and/or suffer from a placebo disease lol
