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.

The constant whining and complaining about cost on Audiogon is very tiresome and non-constructive

I took the OP to be reflecting on the value he got for his money. 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.

Only present your proof, otherwise you are as full of S as the folks at ASR and AH.

Nobody here owes you proof of anything.

@gkelly  Thx!  

@gdaddy1    I watched part of Amir’s video that was completely void of associated audio components, what music was used, room/acoustics or qualified listeners etc. All he had was a bunch of graphs/measurements that prove nothing about different sonic characteristics regarding the sound quality of the 2 cables. Has it ever occurred to you that Amir is financially capitalizing on the cable naysayers ignorance? He might be laughing at you!
