Sum Total Cost Of All Cables In Your Rig?

Guessing about $8,000 for all of them, and have enough esoteric DIY Japanese cable and connectors to last me for the rest of my life. I had a friend that lived in Japan for 2 years, and had him load me up with Oyaide, Acoustic Revive, SAEC, Furutech, Neotech, Acrolink, Audio Technica bulk cable and connectors

This is what I have in my system’s cable loom and you can price them out if you want to via the net but I’m not going to. I might add that the following will be with me for the duration.

2 Rega Couple 2

1 Rega Couple 3

2 McIntosh Power Control Cables between my transport and DAC

1 McIntosh proprietary Digital MCT Input cable supplied with my MCT80 Transport

3 Rega Reference Mains Power Leads

3 6’ VooDoo Mojo Digital Power Cords

1 Strait DIN phono cable supplied with my Luxman PD151 MKII turntable

1 1.5 M Standard power cord supplied my HIFI passive volume controller which is just the right length and fit for purpose in this system.

1 9 Meter pair Kimber Kable (KK) 12TC speaker cables with KK S-Ban connectors for which I received a $400 credit from KK for my 9 Meter pair of KK 8PR with the same terminations that I purchased in 2009 for $380.

Does anyone know what millercarbon runs in his system

Lord please forgive these people for they know not what they do,

I ran a test some time ago and it was incredibly hard/pulling teeth for me to hear an 'improvement' on a ~5000 dollar cable over ~700 dollar cable from the same manufacturer. It sounded different, not better.  2 other guys who were sitting there in the same room came to the same conclusion. 

Someone might argue that 5000 dollar cable just worked better synergistically in a different system/room. By the same token, some other 700 dollar cable from somewhere might also have worked better in that different system/room.

A difference being heard is not neccesarily an improvement.......But, hey, if you can convince yourself or throw some cash around, go for it.

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.
