What cables are you using in your system ?????

Hi guy's i would like to know what cables are you using in your system and are you a believer or not.

First i will state that i'm part of the believer group but without going overboard i believe that you should invest at least 15% of your system's value in cables.

Where did you get 15%? Cables are the biggest ripoff in audio. Most are at least a 50 point line.you can buy used, buy recording studio cable at a fraction of the price, or buy closeout cables like I did at 20 cents on the dollar. I got excellent Madrigal cables that way

Can you please share your specific data that shows what their NET profit is (not gross profit) on a yearly operating basis for cable companies that you used to come to this conclusion?

I'm sure it is much more detailed than the normal keyboard-commando who only looks at cost of materials.

Thank you.

Robert Harley said in his book that cables are not related to the cost of manufacturing, but rather, what the market will bear. I bought Madrigal HPC cables for 20% of list from a dealer going out of business. Top quality studio cable with Mogami cable with switchcraft connectors are a fraction of the price of so called high end cables. You can also buy used.
I would never pay retail or anywhere near it for most of these insanely priced cables like transparent or MIT with act like tone controls with those useless network boxes.

If they act like a tone control, then perhaps they are doing something?
