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

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.

To much, but not enough. 

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

I am sure I probably have that much invested in cables right now. But for the sound quality they are providing it is a good investment, as were those on previous versions of my system. 

I am always conscious of the amount of sonic improvement I get per investment thousand (I'd be crazy to think in terms of individual dollars). Once I have carefully chosen my components, then I can get more out of them for incrementally less money with high end interconnects and cables. I then tend to stop upgrading for around ten years until I can afford to upgrade to the next level. Typically I upgrade wires before vibration control, after I have upgraded components. 

Iv'e occasionally made a mis-step with cables... early in my career. But I know a few cable companies well and what they are compatible with so I don't have a cabinet full of new and not being used wires.
