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.

@mulveling  I don't care what you do with your money or how much you spend. However, to suggest to other people that they should consider buying an expensive cable IS a disservice to the community for promoting a product with no evidence.

You're completely ridiculous. Go bug another hobby.

Aren't all hifi gear "products with no evidence"?

Hard numbers can help filter / eliminate components that obviously won't be play well with each other, or won't fit your personal tastes and / or listening style, but that's pretty much as far as it goes. Isn't it?

@gdaddy1 - where’s YOUR proof that what ASR measured is THE ONLY THING RELEVANT to how it sounds?  The assumption that it does is baseless.
