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

Maybe 10 k at least. I still can’t tell the difference, I WASTED MY MONEY. Just kidding. 

That’s quite a lot, but make sure you include it under “home improvement” in your itemized tax deductions to help offset some of the cost.  IRS and your accountant would agree that is for "home improvement."

"It’s amazing how contentious this thread has become. We have insulting , threatening, foreign country’s and just a lot of hate. Is it because we don’t value each other , we don’t really know each other ?"

@buellrider97 ,

It’s because a certain consistently banned member here can’t help but spew his childish, immature, school yard insults. He’s been banned well over a dozen times and he just keeps coming back to spew more of it. His current incarnation is foggyus91. He’s the one who wrote that lovely thing to me in my last post, and in a now deleted post told another member to ’blow it out his *ss.’ So, we know him all too well; A mealy mouthed, little paper bully who’d fold like a wet dish rag if ever personally confronted.

How, I wonder were we able to enjoy music playing through reference gear in the 90s without $10,000 cables?

@yesiam_a_pirate 

Could it be that in the 90s we worked for a living, spent our money raising kids and building homes, and had intact cognitive abilities?

I suppose some people struggle to carry a tune too, or to hear and sing a harmony part..... oh well, I can’t throw a 95 mph fastball, but some can.

@knotscott 

You make a good point, but the kind of claims some so-called "audiophiles" make are in 1,000 mph fastball territory. Some even claim they can throw supersonic fastballs.

If folks were able to discuss cables and tweaks reasonably and intelligently, we wouldn't be having these conversations.
