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.

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.

It’s no one’s business what is in my wallet. I think there is a commandment, something about not coveting your neighbors goods.

Audiogon is all about value, right? This post seems totally fine and not whining, to me. I spent enough to start blind testing. That helped me sell some cables I was sure were making a difference. After I got over the humiliation of being myopic, getting some money back was a nice recompense.
