Bingo…Someone else that doesn’t eventually wake up and feel placebo wired silly 

She knows your username or even the fact you’re on this forum? Did you give her all your PC, phone passwords, password manager, everything? What have you done?

Not retail but what I paid...right around 12% 

$25k and the retail price is much greater. Power cables, interconnects and speaker are all Allnic. Had to be guided to this place by someone that knows more than I do, but the result has been phenomenal. I can’t say whether it’s required to spend so much but I can say that in my case the investment allows me to hear the quality of my system. Goal accomplished. Maybe 1/6 the total cost of my reference system is in cables. 

So what percentage better audio are you getting from say 500 dollars speaker cables to say thousands and thousands of dollars? There has to be a point of diminishing returns reached . And where is some data to justify/prove that they are that much better.
