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.

i have found over the years that cables do sound different, especially interconnects... but also other cables

if one can’t hear the difference between cables, consider it a blessing rather than a curse, one is spared some effort, cost, and churn

but it doesn’t mean others don’t/can’t hear a difference though

happy easter to all

Maximizing the potential of your audio system should be the goal of any level of Audiophile. The constant whining and complaining about cost on Audiogon is very tiresome and non-constructive

@dayglow  There is NO proof more expensive cables will "Maximize the potential of your system". However there IS proof that they don't do anything!

Suggesting to pay excessive amounts of money for expensive cables and making unsubstantiated claims suggesting to others it will improve their system is non-constructive.

@foggyus91 Amir's recent test of a $7 cable vs. a $4000 cable is as real as it gets. The proof is there to see. Do you believe in science and the ability to accurately measure electricity?

How about YOU present your proof that they DO make a difference? Otherwise you might be the one who's full of S.

Here's my proof.
