How Much Have You Spent On Cables Throughout The Years. I'm Shocked When I Checked.

I just checked the total cost of cables which I still own, all types of cables including spares. It's all recorded in an Excel sheet, actual price paid and not MSRP.

I'm shocked. It's a whopping sum of $22.4k. crying

I'm sure there would be people who have spent more. I have seriously overspent on cables though I still need to get another mains power cable before I call it a day, a rather costly one.

Likely a few hundred dollars since 1982.  I was able to buy Cardas and Kimber Kable at dealer cost on years ago, so even the good stuff wasn’t much in the mid to late 80s.

Hello and Easter/Passover greetings. 
I believe that I’ve invested less than many on this forum since I fabricate my own cables. I use primarily Mogami and Furetec raw cable and quality terminals depending on the intended purpose.  Estimate around 3k over many years. 
Enjoy the music.

Probably around $4k-5k over recent years anyway, and I’m not a super Hi end guy and I went to an integrated and streaming a few years ago. Honestly tho sometimes I like a cable just for color or connection. Actually it’s probably more $ than that, it’s just ridiculous.

Not much compared to others on this site, but way more than I told my wife. 😆
