Well done in staying with what your ears told you and not going by these daft percentages on how much you should pay on different components.I did, say I paid "x" for the speakers, then I paid "2.1x" for the cables, neither were full price. Once they'd been in the system there was no way they were coming out again.
The speaker cables were the biggest change to the system in the "opening the window" on the performance of even the cheapest equipment I have, like I'd never heard any of them properly before. Everything got better, and so did every bit of kit I've tried, even of some rough edges and sins of commission showed up in the budget stuff.
It showed me what 20+ years of evolution can do to a product line.
That’s utterly insane to me.Errr. Nope.
List price of my speaker cables is 2x the list price of the speakers they are connected to.
Happy with the rest of the kit, more so now I can hear what it's all doingThat’s utterly insane to me.
I’ve never heard a difference between decent, fit for purpose cables but accept some people do but surely the money would be better spent upgrading to better speakers of source?
Of course it would but common sense does not exist in this sport. Flog the speakers chip in the money you were about to pay for cables get better speakers.

Well made, fit for purpose is probably what I should have said. I've never heard 'high end' cables in my system but I have never heard a difference with the cables I personally have owned. It's a simple statement of fact. I have Chord Epic currently and they do what they're supposed to.How do you know they are decent if you haven’t heard the difference?
Genuinely interested to know what the rest of the kit is?Happy with the rest of the kit, more so now I can hear what it's all doing![]()
Oh sorry. yes..Genuinely interested to know what the rest of the kit is?
True but which disciple is going to listen to that sort of common sense.Of course it would but common sense does not exist in this sport. Flog the speakers chip in the money you were about to pay for cables get better speakers.
